Rough Rhino Cavalry (TLA)

Creature — Human Mercenary

Firebending 2 (Whenever this creature attacks, add {R}{R}. This mana lasts until end of combat.) Exhaust — {8}: Put two +1/+1 counters on this creature. It gains trample until end of turn. (Activate each exhaust ability only once.)

Reliable aggressive threat for red midrange and limited formats. Rough Rhino Cavalry generates consistent mana acceleration through firebending while attacking, letting you chain spells or pump into the exhaust ability for a late-game burst of power. The trample rider makes it a genuine threat in the red zone, though it competes with more efficient creatures at the five-mana slot in constructed formats. Best suited to Commander, draft, and casual strategies where the mana generation and scaling payoff justify the investment.
