Orc Spark: Tersa Lightshatter
Tersa Lightshatter is a compact but volatile red option for decks that want immediate pressure and graveyard synergy. The card name sums up the plan. With haste and a three three body for {2}{R}, Tersa slots into aggressive openings while offering card selection on entry by letting you discard up to two cards then draw that many cards. That exchange smooths rough draws and fuels the graveyard for later exploitation.
Beyond the initial tempo, Tersa Lightshatter rewards a deliberate graveyard build. When you attack and have seven or more cards in your graveyard you exile a random card from it and may play that card this turn. The randomness is part of the design but the upside is substantial since it turns your yard into a secondary resource. Use Tersa in burn or delve focused decks where discards and graveyard density matter. Add to cart if you want a practical Legendary Creature that shifts both early and late game plans.
