Amped Raptor
Oracle Text
First strike
When this creature enters, you get {E}{E} (two energy counters). Then if you cast it from your hand, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card. You may cast that card by paying an amount of {E} equal to its mana value rather than paying its mana cost.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Amped Raptor is a perfect example of Modern Horizons 3’s “do something now, cash in later” design, and it shines best in aggressive or tempo-oriented red decks that want early board presence with built-in card advantage. A 2/1 first striker for two mana trades up in combat, pressures planeswalkers, and often survives against small blockers, making it a tidy threat on curve. Its real power, though, is the free spell trigger: if you cast it from your hand, it digs until it hits a nonland card and lets you pay energy to cast that card, effectively turning one creature into a burst of velocity. Because it enters with {E}{E}, the card pairs naturally with other energy generators and cheap follow-up spells, and it rewards building your deck with a low curve so the revealed hit is easy to deploy. In practice, it excels in decks that want explosive turns without sacrificing board pressure.
