Brimstone Roundup — Drive the Mercenary Charge
Brimstone Roundup rewards a tight, spell dense game plan. The enchantment wants you to cast two spells a turn and will furnish a steady stream of 1 1 red Mercenary tokens when you do. Each token comes with a tap ability that pushes a creature you control over the damage line for a single turn, which makes these tokens useful both as chumpers and as portals for incremental aggression.
The Plot 2{R} clause gives you a tactical option off the draw. You can pay the Plot cost to stash this card and then cast it later for free as a sorcery. In practice this pairs well with decks that plan a mid turn of spells or that run low cost interaction and burn. From a lore angle Brimstone Roundup captures the set theme of frontier law and hired muscle, translating that feel into repeated, exploitable red pressure on the battlefield.
