Booty Bound Raider
Strongbox Raider is a compact, aggressive Orc Pirate that fits cleanly into any red tempo shell. For the cost of two and two red mana you get a 5 by 2 body that pressures life totals and forces opponents to trade efficiently. The artwork shows the raider perched on a ship rail with a heavy strongbox slung over one shoulder, a visual cue for the card text which rewards you for attacking before you cast it.
Raid triggers only if you attacked this turn so the card plays best in decks that commit to early combat or that can generate extra attackers. When the Raider enters, you exile the top two cards of your library and choose one to be playable until the end of your next turn, creating a tempo swing or a surprise follow up. If you want a straightforward red threat that turns aggression into card advantage, Strongbox Raider from the Foundations set is a practical inclusion. Add it to your deck and test how its raid window opens value in real matches.
