First strike
Whenever this creature attacks, you may cast target instant or sorcery card from your graveyard by paying {R}{R} in addition to its other costs. If that spell would be put into a graveyard, exile it instead. When you cast that spell, this creature gets +X/+0 until end of turn, where X is that spell's mana value.
