Brineborn Cutthroat: Quick as a Cutlass
Brineborn Cutthroat is a compact engine of opportunity for tempo oriented blue decks. This Near Mint Foil from Foundations keeps the same efficient {1}{U} casting cost and Flash that let you deploy threats on an opponent turn. As a 2 1 Merfolk Pirate it survives early trades and grows reliably when you cast spells during your opponent turn, turning reactive play into incremental board advantage.
Use Brineborn Cutthroat in decks that leverage instant speed interaction or spellslinger strategies. The card rewards timing and sequencing rather than raw size. The foil treatment and Foundations artwork give it presence in both play and collection, while the Merfolk Pirate identity meshes cleanly with tribal synergies and tempo plays. Keep it at instant ready and you convert opposing turns into your growth turns.
