At Knifepoint

Enchantment

As long as it's 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 ": Target creature you control gets +1/+0 until end of turn. Activate this ability only as a sorcery." This ability triggers only once each turn.

Welcome to the club, ClassySquidze!

My first thought here is to pick a direction. You mention Treasures, creature theft, discard, and crimes as themes. The theft and crimes pair nicely together, and the (targeted) discard and crimes, but the discard and theft are kind of competing with each other, and Treasure is more of a utility effect here than a focus, aside from Revel in Riches.

Some cards here don't really seem to fit any theme. Exsanguinate is a good finisher is you can dump lots of mana into it, but it doesn't steal or target anything. Blinding Powder doesn't really support anything either. Thieving Varmint interacts with only a couple of other cards, that let you cast opponents' cards. The discard effects seem like part of a general control/tempo package, instead of a theme by itself.

I think the best approach is to focus on one theme, or two if they overlap enough. Kaervek, the Punisher can string together black cards that target something into a full-on crime wave. The Treasure theme might fit better as a separate deck. At Knifepoint would be another crime payoff. Insurrection and Rise of the Dark Realms aren't bad, but they're 7+ mana, don't target, and are kind of reliant on what the opponent's playing. Maybe focus on discard + crime or theft + crime.

There are two enchantments that I get a LOT of value out of in my BR Enchantment deck: Nest of Scarabs and At Knifepoint. If you’re putting counters on things, you’ll get more things!! Everybody likes things!!
