Laughing Jasper Flint: Outlaw Catalyst
Laughing Jasper Flint is a compact engine for Rakdos outlaws that bends library interaction into battlefield advantage. As a Legendary Creature Lizard Rogue cast for {1}{B}{R}, it turns creatures you control but do not own into Mercenaries in addition to their other types. That clause creates tidy synergies with sacrifice themes and cards that care about Mercenary tribes while keeping your existing creature roles intact.
Its upkeep trigger reads like a controlled looting effect tied to board presence. You exile the top X cards of a target opponent's library where X is the number of outlaws you control and gain permission to cast those exiled spells until end of turn using any color of mana. In practice that rewards aggressive token generation and persistent threats. Use it to capitalise on opponents with tall topdecks, turning their resources into immediate answers or extra offense while your outlaws hold the line.
