# At Knifepoint
- **Mana Cost:** `{1}{B}{R}` (CMC: 3)
- **Type:** Enchantment

## Oracle Text
During your turn, outlaws you control have first strike. (Assassins, Mercenaries, Pirates, Rogues, and Warlocks are outlaws.)
Whenever you commit a crime, create a 1/1 red Mercenary creature token with "{T}: Target creature you control gets +1/+0 until end of turn. Activate only as a sorcery." This ability triggers only once each turn.
