Bruse Tarl: Double Strike Wrangler
Bruse Tarl, Roving Rancher brings a familiar, practical threat to red white aggro decks and midrange builds. At {2}{R}{W} he is a 4/3 legendary Human Warrior that immediately changes combat math by giving every Ox you control double strike. That effect converts chump blockers into losses for your opponent and forces different blocks from turn one onward.
Beyond the steady face threat he provides, Bruse Tarl pushes card advantage and board development whenever he enters the battlefield or attacks. You exile the top card of your library and if it is a land you get a 2/2 white Ox token. If it is not a land you may cast it until the end of your next turn. The text pairs well with token synergies and decklines that want repeated value from attacks. A touch of Thunder Junction lore sits behind him as a rancher who trains both hooves and havoc, which fits a build that wants creatures to close out games efficiently.
