Rationale

1cmc 1/2 Goblin Samurai that loots (hand → bottom of library, draw a card) whenever a Samurai or Warrior attacks alone. Red looting on a cheap body is useful in samurai/warrior-typal aggro that wants to swing with a single voltron-style attacker, but the lone-attacker condition conflicts with go-wide strategies and makes it fringe outside dedicated samurai/warrior shells.
