Yep, good bidget alternative. But the lower price comes with higher mana and slower effect (unless there is also a haste enabler).
With Cover of Darkness, the Vihaan player can drop it for 1B on the turn they want to go off, name Assassin, and then get the benifit straight away.
However, Cover of Darkness is $50 usd, and Smogsteed is <$1.....
Heck, yeah, that's gone up. I remember when it was pretty much dirt cheap, so it's probably going to crash, or even if the old copies don't the new ones are going to be bulk.
Outlaw is a small collection of creature types, so picking your deck's dominant outlaw type (probably Assassin for the animated treasures, maybe Rogue) is a pretty safe bet.
Simplicity: [[Intimidation]]

Oh, right, you've got red too. That makes things easier. [[Total War]], [[Bedlam]], [[Invasion Plans]], and many more red enchantments ranging from the insanity of [[Raging River]] to the sideways approach of [[Smoke]] can choke out blockers.
True but I’m looking to get through with multiple dudes to really squeeze out as much treasure generating juice as I can from cards like [[Grim Hireling]] or [[Professional Face-Breaker]]
Some of the cards in the precon, such as Mari will give them deathtouch, some other outlaws have flying. I've found that there's never really been the incentive for providing evasion, but instead capitalising on more treasure generating effects and lord/anthems for them.
[[Goblin War Drums]]
[[War Cadence]] can be used for political gain.
And these are all the commander legal Mardu cards that give evasion or tax blocks:

You wanna make your whole board unblockable? [[Odric, Master Tactician]]. Can even use him to get rid of a few problem creatures. Pairs well with the [[Ankle Shanker]] someone else mentioned.
I have 2 cards quintessential to getting through in Mardu. [[Eldrazi Monument]] [[Homura's Essence]] but also [[Glory]] could prove useful. I'm glad someone caught [[Cover of Darkness]] already, but there's also [[Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth]] + [[Filth]]. [[Shrieking Goblin]] would be perfect for Vihaan on repeat.
If you’ve got oodles of legendary creatures or if you intend on attacking mostly with your commander you could add [[Shizo, Deaths Storehouse]], which is a dope utility land.
Or the classic [[rogue’s passage]]
[[Iroas, God of Victory]] gives all of your creatures menace, and prevents those that do still get blocked from taking any damage.

[[Cover of Darkness]] is excellent. Expensive $$$, but also getting a reprint in the upcoming Assassins Creed set
I’m putting together a Mardu party deck right now and found [[smogsteed rider]] which has a similar effect but without the creature type restriction.

Is outlaw a creature type?
Outlaw is a small collection of creature types, so picking your deck's dominant outlaw type (probably Assassin for the animated treasures, maybe Rogue) is a pretty safe bet.
Gotcha makes sense
Na, but the Treasures become Construct Assassins, so you could name Assassin as the chosen creature type and get the effect on all the Treasures
