Viashino Racketeer - 2r
Creature - Viashino (C) 
When Viashino Racketeer enters the battlefield, you may discard a card. If you do, draw a card.
2/1

seems fine

Meh.

Love it

It should have first strike.

Quite good.

If it were I'd absolutely love it. As it is I'm not sure how to feel.

This might actually be playable, if you're a fan of looting.

At least its a Viashino.

I actually like this. 

Kinda wish this was a 2/2.

High power/low toughness is a red thing.

2/1 for 3 is just barely big enough for limited if you can curve out and get some card-quality value at the same time.

OK...then make it a 3/2.   

I like the may... plays well with scavenge?

seems ok, i'm not really a fan of non-evasive 2/1s for 3 but it has cycling attached which is nice.

Or cost 1R.

It's ok. Nothing to get excited about. Maybe if it had first strike to compensate for that 1 toughness, but oh well.

I like how you have to discard first before drawing the card. Kind of like a reverse looting.

That's a red thing now.

Limited only for sure.  3CMC for a 2/1 with "when ETB, draw a card" would be...probably playable but not format breaking (see Elvish Visionary ).  A whole extra mana for +1 power is probably not worth-it over visionary.  Except this doesn't read draw a card, it reads loot once, which is significatnly worse.

And then , but it became an everybody thing very quickly.

I would call Wheel card draw, not looting. Same with Amass the Components . If you get card advantage it doesn't really seem like looting.

I like that Wizards is mining this design space for red. It really fits Rakdos.
