Deck overview

This deck leverages Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad to lead an aggressive Mardu Assassin tribal strategy. The game plan focuses on filling the graveyard with potent Assassins during the opening turns using spells like Buried Alive, Entomb, and Faithless Looting. Once Altaïr attacks, he exiles these creatures with memory counters and generates tapped, attacking token copies of every exiled Assassin. High-impact payloads like Virtus the Veiled and Unstoppable Slasher halve opponent life totals, while Bayek of Siwa and Arno Dorian amplify combat power. Protection spells like Deflecting Swat, Flawless Maneuver, and Reconnaissance keep Altaïr safe during combat steps. The deck thrives on cumulative combat value, turning the exile zone into an unassailable army reserve that overwhelms the table across mid-game combat steps.
