Potentially: "When ~ dies, if it was attacking, destroy target blocking creature."

No longer optional. Encourages offense.

2/1? Randomness?

IMO it could cost just a single {r} since in most cases it would function like a Triton Shorestalker. I don't know how I feel about creature destruction in {r} though.

When we really think about it "destroy target blocking creature" in {r} might make more sense than in {w}. {w} already has "destroy target attacking/blocked creature".

Actually, I've played with the idea of destroying blocking creatures in {b}.

Ie. something like

> Cruelty (When this creature becomes blocked by a creature with lesser power, destroy that blocking creature.)

Since this doesn't necessarily kills the creature that blocks it, it has a number of cases where it would be better than Triton Shorestalker. This plus a sacrifice outlet, or a potential Zap would make any group attack frustrating... especially since the Anarchist can destroy creatures before damage is dealt.

But yeah, {r} is still probably fine. Even with the tricks, there are going to be plenty of times that Typhoid Rats would have been the better option.
