Rattleback Apothecary — Sip of Sin
Rattleback Apothecary is a compact threat with a sharp role in black decks. For {2}{B} you get a 3/2 Gorgon Warlock with deathtouch that punishes blocks and trades efficiently. Its crime trigger turns incidental targeting into a resource by giving a chosen creature you control either menace or lifelink until end of turn. That choice keeps the card flexible in combat and in skirmishes over life totals.
Use the Apothecary where interaction matters. The card pairs well with creatures that want to push damage through or need a late life swing to stabilize. In an Outlaws of Thunder Junction shell the flavor fits obvious looter and theft synergies while the mechanic rewards aggressive targeting lines. Practical, compact and easy to deploy, this is a card you slot in when you want efficient trades and incidental upside from your disruption.
