Kari Zev, Skyship Raider

Kari Zev is a scrappy little attacker that generates value every time she swings. Her real strength is that she creates a 2/1 token—Ragavan—that immediately joins the party, letting you attack with a 3-power team on turn three. She's evasive with menace, making her hard to block profitably, and first strike ensures she trades well. The deck wants to lean into aggressive red strategies: pump spells to make her hits devastating, card draw and treasure-generation to refuel, and ways to blink or repeatedly trigger her attack ability.

Build around her as a tempo deck rather than pure aggro. You're not trying to burn them out by turn four; you're applying consistent pressure while your interactive spells and artifact ramp keep you ahead. Cards that buff her, give her evasion, or trigger off combat damage multiply her already-good value. Ragavan naturally encourages artifact synergies since he's a token, and Kari's low mana cost means you can play her early and protect her with countermagic or removal while she does her job.
