Laughing Jasper Flint
Legendary Creature — Lizard Rogue
Creatures you control but don't own are Mercenaries in addition to their other types.
At the beginning of your upkeep, exile the top X cards of target opponent's library, where X is the number of outlaws you control. Until end of turn, you may cast spells from among those cards, and mana of any type can be spent to cast those spells.

Laughing Jasper Flint lands on the battlefield and immediately starts converting your opponents' top cards into free spells — card advantage and pressure in one body. The cost is real: you need to be attacking, and the effect depends on what your opponents are running, but Nathan Drake, Treasure Hunter shells lean into exactly this kind of impulsive draw and rarely regret the slot.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Nathan Drake, Treasure Hunter
Nathan Drake, Treasure Hunter and Laughing Jasper Flint are a natural pairing — both reward aggressive, attack-heavy gameplay, and Jasper's top-of-library theft turns each combat step into card advantage that doesn't cost you hand cards.
Don Andres, the Renegade
Don Andres, the Renegade wants a steady stream of cards to cast from exile, and Laughing Jasper Flint feeds that engine every time you connect — the two cards functionally extend each other's reach.
Gev, Scaled Scorch
Gev, Scaled Scorch runs wide and hits fast, and Laughing Jasper Flint slots in as a reward for that aggression — landing damage triggers translate directly into extra resources the deck can leverage to close games.
Olivia, Opulent Outlaw
Olivia, Opulent Outlaw builds a Vampire-and-Treasure engine that appreciates bodies contributing value on attack, and Laughing Jasper Flint adds free spell access on top of whatever Treasure production the deck is already generating.
Obeka, Splitter of Seconds
Obeka, Splitter of Seconds cares about end-step effects and time manipulation, and Laughing Jasper Flint's until-end-of-turn cast window makes it a natural target for extending those windows — you get more looks at opponents' tops before the cards vanish.

Laughing Jasper Flint is legal across every major Constructed format but is firmly a Commander card in practice. In 60-card formats, a four-mana creature that requires attacks to generate value is too slow and too easily answered to compete with the raw card advantage engines those formats offer. Commander is where Laughing Jasper Flint earns its slot: multiplayer tables mean more opponents, more top cards to steal, and an aggressive gameplan that punishes anyone who stumbles. Oathbreaker is a reasonable secondary home for the same reasons, especially in a Grixis aggro shell.
