Broadside Bombardiers — Cannon Crew for Your Command
Broadside Bombardiers is a compact attacker that arrives ready to pressure opponents. It costs {2}{R} and comes with menace and haste so it hits through blockers and connects the turn it drops. The body is small at 2/2 yet it plays a clear role in red aggressive decks and artifact sacrifice builds where every point of damage and timing matters.
The Boast ability rewards timing and resource conversion. Sacrificing another creature or an artifact converts that permanent into immediate reach across the table; the damage equals 2 plus the sacrificed permanent's mana value and you may assign it to any target so defenders or planeswalkers are both valid. In practical play it pairs well with token generators and one use artifacts, and it forces opponents to respect your attack step since you can follow through with a precision strike.
