Broadside Bombardiers — Cannon Ready

Broadside Bombardiers is a compact threat that excels at closing out combat or converting small sacrifices into precise removal. As a two mana and a red creature with menace and haste it pressures life totals right away while fitting smoothly into aggressive pirate or artifact sacrifice shells. The artwork on this extended art edition highlights the crew improvising with pots and pans which matches the card function perfectly. Play it on curve and it asks for a follow up that leverages bodies on board or cheap artifacts.

Its boast ability turns expendable resources into targeted damage equal to two plus the sacrificed permanent mana value. That math is straightforward and reliable. Use creatures with enter the battlefield value or token generators to get extra mileage. In multiplayer the ability gives you a flexible removal lane without giving opponents a predictable win condition. Near mint condition and normal English printing make this a playable pick for Commander tables and cube alike.
