Blood Hustler — Shadowy Heist Specialist
Blood Hustler offers a compact, repeatable payoff for crime decks in Outlaws of Thunder Junction. For a single black and one generic mana this Vampire Rogue starts as a 1 1 that grows each time you commit a crime. The trigger is limited to once per turn which smooths out incremental growth and keeps interaction predictable in tight board states.
Beyond its incremental threat, Blood Hustler provides a hard small removal and life swing for three and a black mana that drains a point of life from an opponent and gains you one. It reads well alongside sacrifice engines and graveyard interaction common to the set. Play it early to tax attacks and build a board presence while preserving room in the curve for bigger plays.
