Nezumi Linebreaker: Rat Warlock on the Job
Nezumi Linebreaker is a compact death trigger that keeps pressure on your opponent while fueling token synergies. A one mana 1/1 creature, it trades efficiency for utility. When Nezumi Linebreaker dies, you immediately create a 1/1 red Mercenary creature token that can tap to push a creature you control for a single combat step. The token replaces the loss and gives you an outlet to push damage or enable chump blockers with upside.
In gameplay terms the card is practical in Aristocrat or sacrifice shells and fits into low curve aggro decks that value tempo and incremental advantage. The creature type Rat Warlock nods to the set lore where small operators broker dangerous bargains in the fringe towns of Thunder Junction. Play it early, plan to trade it, and let the token close gaps your board left open.
