Blitz is a keyword ability introduced in Streets of New Capenna as the Riveteers mechanic. It is an ability on permanents that allows the player to play the card for an alternative cost. When you pay its dash cost instead of paying its mana cost, the creature will have haste, so it can attack that turn. At the beginning of the next end step, you'll sacrifice that creature and draw a card.
History
Blitz is the mechanic for the Riveteers, the 
family on New Capenna. It functions similarly to Dash.
Rules
From the glossary of the Comprehensive Rules (June 7, 2024—Modern Horizons 3)
- Blitz
- A keyword ability found on creature cards that allows them to be cast for an alternative cost. See rule 702.152, “Blitz.”
From the Comprehensive Rules (June 7, 2024—Modern Horizons 3)
- 702.152. Blitz
- 702.152a Blitz represents three abilities: two static abilities that function while the card with blitz is on the stack, one of which may create a delayed triggered ability, and a static ability that functions while the object with blitz is on the battlefield. “Blitz [cost]” means “You may cast this card by paying [cost] rather than its mana cost,” “If this spell’s blitz cost was paid, sacrifice the permanent this spell becomes at the beginning of the next end step,” and “As long as this permanent’s blitz cost was paid, it has haste and ‘When this permanent is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, draw a card.’” Casting a spell for its blitz cost follows the rules for paying alternative costs in rules 601.2b and 601.2f–h.
- 702.152b If a spell has multiple instances of blitz, only one may be used to cast that spell. If a permanent has multiple instances of blitz, each one refers only to payments made for that blitz ability as the spell was cast, not to any payments made for other instances of blitz.
