General "Looking for a card"-Thread

I'm looking for another 1 or 2-drop creature in red that helps me discard more cards to support Marauding Mako, Ivora, Insatiable Heir, and Hobgoblin, Mantled Marauder.

Anything cool I'm missing or forgetting about?
Oh no it's the alchemy demon on your shoulder again.

It's really just the perfect card for Mako, Ivora, Inti & friends. Removing seek definitely makes it wordy though. I've been thinking of shortening it to 'reveal ... until you reveal a card with equal mana value' even though that's not proper rules speak.

In the 1-drop slot there's also Masked Meower and Insolent Neonate, but neither really spark joy. One day we'll get a good card with the discard, sac, draw activated ability - which I do like for synergy purposes.

For 2-drops Party Thrasher is definitely my favorite, but it's wordy and carries the mark of the beast. The gremlin is a close runner up, with the detective being a little more hit or miss.
 

Rarely an actual 2 drop (but it's possible!) this card can be real gas for discard archetypes.

I've tried this a few times in the past and no one ever picks it. I think it might be better situated in my Cube now (i.e. better), which I would be jazzed for. The lack of control it offers is troubling, but not impossible to work around.



Does this count? Because it’s pretty great at repeated discard.

Fear of missing out hasn’t been mentioned but isnup there in terms of power level.

I don't want to use an Izzet slot for it, but I'd be more than happy to play it in both mono red and mono blue. I think I'll just throw it in guild balance be damned; it is exactly what I'm looking for.

If the power level is not too low, you may also consider



It is not repeatable, but a 4/3 for two mana is very big, and it is also a very clean (=not wordy) card

This card was a favorite of mine and I used to be very vocal on MTGS about how underrated it was....maybe he can have a second chance at life.

Thanks all!!
