First strike
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Redcap Heelslasher is a solid little role-player for red decks that want to keep pressure on the board while making combat miserable for the opponent. As a 2/3 Goblin Rogue for four mana, it is not an aggressive standout on raw stats, but backup 1 turns it into a flexible tempo tool: you can either grow itself or, more often, hand a +1/+1 counter and first strike to another creature for a decisive attack or a favorable block. That makes it especially good in go-wide red midrange or aggressive decks with evasive attackers, token makers, or creatures that already have combat keywords and just need a buff to dominate trades. It also pairs nicely with counter-matters cards, since the backup counter can help trigger synergies while the temporary first strike lets your best attacker punch above its weight. In practice, this is a card that rewards tight combat sequencing and can swing races without demanding much support.
