Kind of just a necessity of the gameplay when one of your themes is Outlaws and one of your themes is crimes. If every Outlaw comitted a crime, those themes would be pretty indistinct.
Especially since a lot of Outlaws care about committing crimes,if they were able to trigger off themselves it would be too strong.
What about Justice? I want a drip Sheriff prop
You see, they are well known criminals because they already committed crimes. They’ve gone up in the world and now profit off others committing crimes for them.
Its a real crime pyramid scheme out there!
Crime turtles all the way down.
As long as there's pizza to appease them, we should be safe
Mercenary tokens cannot commit crimes
My guess is they probably could in the beginning but it was considered too strong and reliable.
I think somebody asked Maro on Blogatog and that’s what he said
What do mercenaries have to do with crimes
Mercenaries are outlaws I think
Mercenaries are literally paid to commit crimes, comes with the job title
Not necessarily - mercenaries as a term through history was usually used to refer to soldiers who would fight in a foreign army for coin. That then transferred to basically meaning hired muscle, which often times meant doing ethically dubious things, but (using western examples) could also be mercenaries hired to defend a farmstead or town from bandits
WotC continues to stray further from the sun with each passing day.

"welcome to the trenches, kid. YEET"
Some commit crimes just for the love of the game
Just use [[Bounty Board]] and put bounties on them when they hit the field. That’ll really put the outlaw flavor to work lol
This is a really fun card in casual EDH, I really like it.

You must not be familiar with “duty to rescue” laws. These guys are guilty af
I think it's funny that of the SLD wanted posters, only one(?) is still alive in lore (Magda). Dack is dead, Greasefang is dead, Kolitas is (presumably?) dead, Norin exists in an unknown time so... who knows?
I think that's kind of the point - cards that are flavored as outlaws but wouldn't haven been good fits for the set, especially since they aren't mechanically outlaws. I like it better than, say, turning the Theros constellation frame into meaning random stuff from Theros that may or may not be enchantments.
is she? The only source of lore I can find on her does not mention anything like it: https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/feature/legends-kamigawa-neon-dynasty-2022-02-11
It was from the MoM story about Tezzeret. I don't think it specifically said it was her, but it was definitely implied.
An Okiba gangmember that used she/her pronouns died, as did a bunch of other members.
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of Kolitas rising up through the air
No. Not at all. What I do find funny is people's obsessive pedantry over "commit a crime." Lots of boring jokes and bad takes based around that.
I guess they've been framed.
i think the biggest issue is that dealing damage or attacking doesn't count as a crime.
some of these Outlaws are known for crimes in a more violent way..
They are guilty of aiding and abetting.
No I don’t find that funny
They should all have Target opponent on them. Just that line of rules text. Just "Target Opponent". Boom, crime for existing.
Exactly! Drives me crazy. How could they miss this! Idiots…
