Occultist of Stromkirk
Stromkirk Occultist is a compact red threat that turns combat damage into card advantage. The card reads like a toolbox for aggressive and looting strategies: with trample and a 3 2 body for {2}{R}, it punches through blockers and then lets you exile and potentially play the top card of your library whenever it deals combat damage to a player. That interaction rewards tight sequencing, attacks that threaten through, and decks that can take advantage of off color or noncreature top cards on short notice.
Madness for {1}{R} gives the card added synergy with discard outlets and graveyard recursion. Play it from exile for a lower cost or drop it as a last ditch discard to refuel tempo. The Innistrad Remastered printing captures the plane's gothic tone while remaining a practical inclusion in burn aggro, Rakdos midrange, and certain casual builds that want repeatable card access after damage. Condition is Near Mint and the card is English, Uncommon from the Innistrad Remastered set.
