Ruthless Lawbringer: Sterling Justice on the Run
Ruthless Lawbringer is a concise tool for board control in midrange and sacrifice shells. The 1 white and 1 black investment buys a 3 2 creature that forces decision making when it hits. You may sacrifice another creature as it enters and gain a targeted removal effect without spending extra mana. That trigger lines up cleanly with tokens, sacrificial outlets, and creatures with death triggers.
In lore terms the Lawbringer is an enforcer for the Sterling Company who converts criminal intent into ledgerable outcomes. In gameplay terms it pairs well with repeatable sacrifice engines and provides on demand interaction when you need to answer a problem permanent. Use it to trade up on value or to clear a blocker and push damage through.
