Strongbox Raider — Claim the Booty
Strongbox Raider is a compact package of aggression and card advantage. Casting for {2}{R}{R}, this 5/2 Orc Pirate pressures early life totals while offering a conditional engine through Raid. If you attacked first, the Raider lets you exile the top two cards of your library and choose one to play until the end of your next turn, turning an attack into potential tempo or a late game setup.
Practical on both offense and in aggressive decks, Strongbox Raider rewards line drafting and sequencing. The creature body trades well and demands answers, and the play-from-exile window can snag a land or a spell that closes out a game. Use it in decks that favor combat triggers and risk management to convert attacks into meaningful card selection.
