Olivia, Opulent Outlaw costs {1}{R}{W}{B}. She has flying and lifelink, and whenever one or more outlaws you control deal combat damage to a player, you create a Treasure. For {3} and two Treasures you put two +1/+1 counters on each creature you control. Assassins, Mercenaries, Pirates, Rogues and Warlocks are outlaws, and every one of them that connects makes Treasure.

The precon already has the payoffs and the recursion, including Vihaan, Goldwaker, Mari, the Killing Quill and Back in Town. Each swap below pairs a cut with an add, and every card is scored with the same numbers the Oracle uses to build decks: synergy and inclusion from the Olivia decks, plus lift, which shows how much more often a card turns up in Olivia decks than in decks that could play it. This is a newer commander with fewer decks, so lift values are very high.

What is holding the deck back

Not enough cheap outlaws that make Treasure

Kellogg, Prosperous Bandit, Swashbuckler Extraordinaire and Breeches all create Treasure on their own, and Hellspur Posse Boss, Laughing Jasper Flint and Vial Smasher are outlaws that reward more outlaws. They are among the top-scoring cards the precon leaves out.

Sweepers and steal effects in an attacking deck

Hex, Mass Mutiny, Captivating Crew and Curtains' Call kill or borrow creatures, in a deck that wants a board of its own outlaws attacking.

Outlaws that do little

Ogre Slumlord, Aetherborn Marauder, Mistmeadow Skulk and Dire Fleet Ravager are outlaws, but each is played in about one Olivia deck in five or fewer, and Humble Defector hands a card engine to an opponent.

What to keep

These cards are doing the deck's heavy lifting. Do not cut them.

If you want to spend more

These are strong but sit outside a budget upgrade. Prices are the cheapest paper printing.

The verdict

Most Wanted already has the payoffs and the recursion. The upgrade is cheap outlaws that make Treasure every time they hit, and more outlaws for the payoffs to count, in place of sweepers, steal effects and outlaws that do little. These thirteen swaps cost about $37 in total.

How the numbers work

Inclusion is the share of Olivia, Opulent Outlaw decks (5,794 of them when this was written, 2026-10-27) that play the card. Synergy is how much more often they play it than other decks in the same colours. Oracle score is synergy × 0.6 plus inclusion × 0.4, the same blend The Oracle uses to rank cards for a deck. Lift compares how often the card appears in these decks with how often it could, capped at 8× here; it is shown for context and does not change the score.

Two cautions. Players who run the precon unmodified count as Olivia decks, which flatters every card the precon contains. Lift is very high for these cards because this is a newer commander with fewer decks, so use lift to compare cards, not to judge one in isolation. Prices are the cheapest non-foil paper printing on TCGplayer (via Scryfall), in USD, and move daily.
