Character Background

Raging Redcap is a compact, aggressive piece that lends itself to tempo and aggro strategies: as a 1/2 with double strike, it often trades up against 2-toughness blockers thanks to first strike and still pushes an extra point into opponents or planeswalkers on the regular damage step, turning stalled attacks into meaningful damage. It shines in Goblin tribal or red-based aggro shells—pair it with Goblin Chieftain or other lords for haste and buffs, and it becomes a prime target for combat-multiplying cards like Embercleave or temporary pump spells to convert those two damage steps into a sudden lethal swing. Deckbuilding tips: keep the curve low, include ways to remove blockers (Lightning Bolt/Magma Spray) and at least a couple of anthem/haste effects so Redcap can attack repeatedly, and consider equipment or buffs that capitalize on its double strikes rather than trying to turn it into a long-term blocker. Thematically it reads as a brash, hit-twice attacker—build to maximize short, explosive combat value.
