Vial Smasher, the Mischief-Making Molotov
Vial Smasher, Gleeful Grenadier slots into Rakdos decks as a compact engine for incremental damage and board synergy. This legendary Goblin Mercenary costs {1}{B}{R} and reads as a low cost repeatable ping whenever another outlaw enters the battlefield under your control. Play it early, then leverage tokens, mercenaries, or sacrifice triggers to convert each arrival into an extra point of pressure against an opponent.
The card shines in aggressive or midrange shells that generate bodies or recur creatures. It is not a one shot trick. It rewards sequencing and reads like an economical side effect that tilts close races. In set lore the grenadier keeps the flames alive after the raid, smiling while the smoke clears. Use it to chip away life totals, tax removal, or finish off planeswalkers without overcommitting your board.
