Laughing Jasper Flint

—

3cmc 4/3 Legendary Lizard Rogue that exiles the top X cards of an opponent's library each upkeep (X = outlaws you control) and lets you cast them that turn. The static ability converts stolen creatures into Mercenaries, enabling tribal synergies. Power scales heavily with outlaw count, making it a signature commander for Rakdos outlaw-tribal shells; in non-outlaw builds it's a mediocre beater.

• Laughing Jasper Flint's outlaw count for X includes Assassins, Mercenaries, Pirates, Rogues, and Warlocks — the five outlaw creature types in MtG — so any mix of those tribe types counts toward the exile count, not just Rogues.

• The cards exiled by Jasper's trigger are only castable until end of turn on the turn they are exiled; any unused cards are permanently removed from the game, which can backfire if the opponent benefits from losing their library cards.

• Because stolen creatures become Mercenaries via the static ability, Jasper can 'inflate' his own X by stealing creatures with theft effects elsewhere in the deck, turning even non-outlaw opponents' boards into upkeep-trigger fuel.
