Gameplay

Creature — Rat

Trample When this creature dies, if it dealt combat damage to a player this turn, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control. Blitz {4}{B} (If you cast this spell for its blitz cost, it gains haste and "When this creature dies, draw a card." Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step.)

You don't have to attack with the creature with blitz unless another ability says you do.

2022-04-29wotc

If you pay the blitz cost to cast a creature spell, that permanent will be sacrificed only if it's still on the battlefield when that triggered ability resolves. If it dies or goes to another zone before then, it will stay where it is.

2022-04-29wotc

The triggered ability that lets its controller draw a card triggers when it dies for any reason, not just when you sacrifice it during the end step.
