Welcome to another exciting new deck tech on this channel where I show you a deck built around Laughing Jasper Flint from the upcoming Outlaws of Thunder Junction set! Laughing Jasper Flint is a really cool Rakdos commander centered around outlaws, committing crimes, and stealing your opponents' cards!

I pulled this card when opening packs and he gave me lots of ideas for an outlaw steal-y deck

[@chinozerus667]

You do need a lot of mana for this deck to go off. Mana dorks, rituals and mana rocks are very useful. Best are outlaws that produce treasures.

[@commandpower1987]

Yeah I've found the deck to be pretty mana hungry for sure

[@jacobdaubenspeck3217]

Built this deck from cards i already had and it looks like it's going to be super fun! I love the idea of playing everyone else's decks lol

[@commandpower1987]

Yeah I did the same, draftbchaff mostly haha

[@Floki_Fenrirson]

I actually use LJF in Arena in Brawl using a Grixis set up under Marchesa. This deck pops off in numerous ways.

Very good video! I will definitely take some cues from this list for my LJF deck. I have currently a nasty win con for myself in the deck, which is dependent upon a couple of things: LJF + Rakish Crew / Bastion of Rememberance / Zulaport Cutthroat in game and smashing in with Insurrection and any boardwipe. If the opponents are running many token creatures, this will be devastating since I control all creatures, and with LJF in play they are all outlaws. If both sorceries resolves, I think some opponents would lose, and the ones that are left will be in an interesting position. When the attack is done, the wipe results in a loss of creatures that could give me a life gain equal to the amount of creatures in play (times up to three) and deal that much damage to each opponent. For this to resolve I would hope there is one counterspell in my "exile hand" from LJF. Otherwise I am running Staff of Eden, Vault's Key as well, so maybe I can draw a huge hand as well. I am also running Possibility Storm, which would be great if I can reduce the avg mana cost of creatures. This does not affect the cards exiled from LJF or Prosper (which I am also running). This is just to give myself an easy out if I have a mana surge problem on my draws and my opponents have scary hands. I also have Graywater's Fixer in case I have many low value outlaws in the graveyard in the late game and Bastion of Rememberance and/or Rakish Crew is in play. Thus I can encore all outlaws for their mana cost and sacrifice the tokens at the end of the turn. I hope I get to do this with Nizumi Link Breaker, Tinybones, the Pickpocket, Deadeye Tracker, Magda the Hoardmaster, Greedy Freebooter, Vial Smasher Gleeful Grenadier and of course Zulaport Cutthroat would be awesome here. This could also be a win con. Furthermore I have a card that is very interesting if you are running a crime scheme like in this video. Its an often overlooked card, due to it being very weak, and frankly not that interesting unless you get triggers on it: Tooth Collector. This card may commit one crime automatically on every players turn, leading to very rapid increase in crime effects. It seems to be absolutely made for this meme deck :)

[@commandpower1987]

Your deck sounds awesome! Glad to be able to inspire a little bit! Also Tooth Collector is a great find!

@@commandpower1987 Thanks! I have played it a couple of times last week, but I am experiencing that it tries to do two different things at the moment and is spreading my slots a bit too thinlyl. I think I will pull it more towards impulse draw extravaganza soon. The idea then is to get rid of the crime trigger creatures, and fill in a lot of low cost creatures (Nezumi Linkbreaker, Greedy Freebooter, Orcish Spy, etc), some more colorless mana producers and put in some defensive measures. I will keep the possible win cons, like Graywater's Fixer, Insurrection and the trio of Rakish Crew, Bastion of Rememberance and Zulaport Cutthroat

[@blvpo3148]

Dead before sunrise does not target opponents and their life totals, but it could be a good board wipe with enough presence.

[@baltasarice7091]

Yeah, but creatures target other creatures, that's a crime

[@veme2857]

what do you mean we commit a crime every upkeep ? Flint allow you to exile cards from the library. You only commit a crime if you target an opponent, an opponent's permanent, an opponent's spell or, a card in an opponent's graveyard

[@commandpower1987]

Read the ability my dude

[@veme2857]

True

[@Bobjdobbs]

I am going to assume you are stupid. The card literally says: “At the beginning of your upkeep, exile the top X cards of target opponent’s library…” notice it says “target opponent”. This means you are committing a crime since an ability is targeting said opponent. Hope this helps!
