Laughing Jasper Flint is a compact engine for disruptive midrange decks that like to steal tempo. This Legendary Creature Lizard Rogue arrives for {1}{B}{R} as a 4/3 body and immediately changes how ownership and control interact in your game. Its static ability makes creatures you control but do not own into Mercenaries in addition to their other types, which reads cleanly with existing tribal synergies and invites creative deckbuilding around outlaws and temporary control effects.
The triggered upkeep ability reads as an incremental tutor that steals resources under pressure. At the beginning of your upkeep, you exile the top X cards of target opponent's library where X is the number of outlaws you control. Until end of turn you may cast spells from among those cards and mana of any type can be spent to cast those spells. That clause lets you turn an exile into instant value and punishes opponents who cannot protect their top decks. Use Jasper Flint to convert board presence into card advantage and to enable explosive turns while keeping a tight tempo advantage.
