Character Background

Manhole Missile is a compact, punchy removal spell that feels like urban guerrilla warfare—an explosive surprise from beneath the street that clears an annoying blocker for one red mana and smooths your hand if you need it. Its primary game plan is tempo/aggro: remove a 3‑toughness blocker or trade up on a bigger early threat to keep pressure on, then optionally bury a dead card and draw into something that advances your clock. It also slots naturally into spell‑centric shells that care about cheap instants, such as Izzet or Mono‑Red Prowess and Young Pyromancer decks, where the instant speed kill both protects your attackers and triggers prowess or creates tokens. Deckbuilding tip: lean low on high‑curve top‑end and include other one‑mana interaction and cantrips so Manhole Missile becomes a reliable removal-plus-filter; it’s particularly good alongside token generators and creatures you want to protect rather than outrace. Thematically it’s a bit of Streetwise sabotage—use it to punch through the board and keep momentum.
