Creates an outlaw token and turns later outlaw deaths into life drain.
How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Deploy outlaws and Mercenary tokens, then use damage and death rewards to make blocking increasingly costly. Look for support such as Prickly Pair and Deadeye Duelist.
- What to take next
- Both the Plant Mercenary and its Mercenary token enter as outlaws, producing separate Vial Smasher triggers.
- Wrong pick
- Shoot the Sheriff cannot destroy an outlaw. Check types before relying on it to clear the opponent’s best blocker.
- Mana & splash
- Count the colored sources needed to cast this card on time; a synergy payoff is not a reason to weaken an otherwise consistent mana base.

Observational, not a causal bonus. Both cards must be in the deck. Drawn means opening hand or normally drawn; each card counts once per game. Game-level approximate intervals do not account for repeated games by the same drafter.
At least 100 games in each of four drawn/not-drawn groups; adjusted for game length and screened by the lower confidence bound. Do not add these points to a card’s win rate.
