Nimble Brigand slips the net
Nimble Brigand is a compact blue evasive threat that rewards aggressive timing and careful setup. The one three body trades favorably when it gets through, and its can t be blocked if you ve committed a crime this turn clause turns even a single committed crime into consistent pressure. Use it after a small interaction to force through damage or as a follow up to a turn where you ve targeted an opponent or their card in a graveyard to guarantee a clean attack.
When Nimble Brigand deals combat damage to a player you draw a card, which keeps your momentum and replaces itself while advancing your board plan. The artwork shows a lithe rogue sliding along a balcony with ghostly blue trails that match the card s evasive feel. It plays well in crime synergies, tempo blue decks, and any list that wants steady incremental advantage from cheap evasive creatures.
