• Power/Toughness: 3/2
• Card Text:
  • Blitz-2BB, Pay 2 life. (If you cast this spell for its blitz cost, it gains haste and "When this creature dies, draw a card." Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step.)
  • You may cast Tenacious Underdog from your graveyard using its blitz ability.

Card Summary: Tenacious Underdog is a black Creature card with the following abilities:

• Blitz-2BB, Pay 2 life: This is an alternate casting cost. If you choose to cast Tenacious Underdog for its blitz cost, you need to pay 2BB and an additional 2 life. When you do this, Tenacious Underdog gains haste, meaning it can attack and tap on the turn it enters the battlefield, and it gains the ability "When this creature dies, draw a card." However, it also has a drawback: it must be sacrificed at the beginning of the next end step.

• You may cast Tenacious Underdog from your graveyard using its blitz ability: This ability allows you to cast Tenacious Underdog directly from your graveyard by paying its blitz cost, including the 2BB and 2 life. This can be a useful way to bring the creature back if it ends up in your graveyard.

Deck Considerations:

• Tenacious Underdog can be a valuable card in decks that want aggressive creatures with the potential for card advantage. Its blitz ability gives it haste, making it an immediate threat, and when it dies, you get to draw a card.

• Decks that can manipulate life totals or gain life easily can make the most of the blitz cost, as paying 2 life can be a significant cost.

• It pairs well with cards that can recur creatures from the graveyard, as you can repeatedly cast it from the graveyard using its blitz ability.

Overall Impression: Tenacious Underdog is a flexible black creature card that offers both immediate board presence and card advantage potential. Its blitz ability allows for unique plays and can surprise opponents with its hasty entry onto the battlefield. However, you must be mindful of the life cost associated with its blitz cost and the requirement to sacrifice it at the end of the turn.
