Character Background
Bandit's Talent is a small, brutal engine for a hand‑disruption/control plan: its enter-the-battlefield clause forces painful choices and its level ups convert that pressure into steady life loss and then card advantage, rewarding an attrition playstyle rather than raw speed. Play it early to strip options and pay {B} to hit Level 2 when opponents are desperately low on cards so the upkeep drain compounds with discard effects; later investment to Level 3 turns your attrition into sustainable card draw, especially in multiplayer where each empty hand is another card. Build decks with low‑cost removal and repeatable hand disruption—Thoughtseize and Inquisition of Kozilek are natural fits—and include payoffs for opponents discarding or having small hands (The Rack or Waste Not engines) plus reliable B sources to level the Class. Thematically it reads like a pickpocket’s curriculum: destabilize hands, bleed people out, and then harvest the spoils as steady advantage.
