Arena Athlete, Creature — human, designed by Jason Chan first released in Sep, 2013 in the set Theros and was printed exactly in 3 different ways.
The Arena Athlete card could benefit a red aggressive deck that focuses on targeting its own creatures with spells to disrupt the opponent's blocking strategy. However, there are potentially better cards like Monastery Swiftspear or Soul-Scar Mage that offer more consistent and powerful effects for a similar cost. While Arena Athlete has situational utility, it may not see widespread play in competitive decks due to its limited impact compared to other options available.

Heroic abilities will resolve before the spell that caused them to trigger.

Heroic abilities won’t trigger when a copy of a spell is created on the stack or when a spell’s targets are changed to include a creature with a heroic ability.
