Reinforced Ronin R
Artifact Creature - Human Samurai
Haste
At the begging of your end step return Reinforced Ronin to your hand.
Channel — 1R, Discard Reinforced Ronin: Draw a card.
2/2

Pretty solid aggro creature, even without the rummaging.

That's just 1R: Cycling, you don't have to discard another card.

that being said, this card is awful in limited, could work in constructed, maybe.

Feels too slow of all things, bouncing itself. There are some benefits in that it protects itself but what deck that can play this is going to take it over Ragavan, Goblin Guide, or Monastery Swiftspear, or just more burn.

I don't think this is ever goint to see play in a format that has access to those cards you mentioned.
but in some situations it could end up seeing play in aggro decks in standard.

It's an artifact, too, so you can use it to continually trigger other cards in EDH or elsewhere:

Ronin's RampageMagic Online OCTGN2 Apprentice Buy These Cards
Trigger off casting artifacts ============================= 01 Power Depot 01 Efficient Construction 01 Digsite Engineer 01 Golem Foundry 01 Mirrodin Besieged 01 Myrsmith 01 Painsmith 01 Sai, Master Thopterist 01 Riddlesmith 01 Vedalken Archmage	Trigger off creatures ===================== 01 Ezuri, Claw of Progress 01 Mentor of the Meek 01 Welcoming Vampire 01 Purphoros, God of the Forge 01 Ambuscade Shaman 01 Blessed Sanctuary 01 Boltwing Marauder 01 Cathar's Crusade 01 Champion of Lambholt 01 Flameshadow Conjuring 01 Lonis, Cryptozoologist 01 Mace of the Valiant 01 Mirror March 01 Warstorm Surge	Can tutor for it ================ 01 Ranger-Captain of Eos 01 Ranger of Eos 01 Imperial Recruiter 01 Recruiter of the Guard

There's lots of fun random junk it can do, its the cheapest you can get for a Dash-like creature for the purposes of repeated casts.

technically this by itself activates that anvil once a turn without even needing a flicker effect.

Champion of the Parish is going to love this card. Heck I love this card. A playset will be going straight into my Modern Boros human deck.

genesis chamber combos with this and may see play along with norin the wary

Would this be too good as a straight one mana 2/2 haste? Monastery swiftspear exists and this would be a bit worse than it.

Yeah, I think strictly better Goblin Guide would probably be too good. Swiftspear needs a specific build to get max value.

I did forget about goblin guide, but in a world with Dragon's Rage Channeler and Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer and power creep, is it really such big deal? (even though they were in modern horizons)

But both of those can be handled at least by Wrenn and Six or Gut Shot in the early turns.

That borderless art. Why am I loving so many Red cards in this set? How unusual.

Cheers!

Seems this card is made for that deck. Double type helps steal more stuff. Cycle for redundant copies.
