About Splatter Thug

Splatter Thug, Creature — human warrior, designed by Kev Walker first released in Oct, 2012 in the set Return to Ravnica and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.16.

Splatter Thug could be a valuable addition to an aggressive red deck looking to apply early pressure with its first strike ability and unleash mechanic. While it may struggle with blocking when unleashed, its potential to enter the battlefield as a 3/3 creature for just 2 mana can be a significant threat. However, in a competitive setting, there are likely better options available such as Goblin Guide or Monastery Swiftspear that offer more consistent and immediate value, making Splatter Thug less likely to see play in top-tier decks.

Rules

04/15/13

A creature with unleash can’t block if it has any +1/+1 counter on it, not just one put on it by the unleash ability.

04/15/13

You make the choice to have the creature with unleash enter the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter or not as it’s entering the battlefield. At that point, it’s too late for a player to respond to the creature spell by trying to counter it, for example.
