Deck overview

This deck is a five-color Assassin tribal aggro deck led by Ezio Auditore da Firenze. The strategy relies on casting Ezio early to exploit his menace ability and trigger freerunning costs on larger Assassin threats. Once freerunning is active, the deck casts high-value historic permanents and Assassin creatures at a steep discount, deploying engines like Basim Ibn Ishaq, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, and Mari, the Killing Quill. The deck closes games either through cumulative evasive combat damage, Ezio's five-color execute trigger on players with 10 or less life, or Ramses, Assassin Lord, which wins the game instantly when an attacked player loses. The deck's primary constraints stem from an extensive tapped Gate mana base without fast artifact acceleration, making early sequencing deliberate. Its interactive package features efficient single-target removal across all five colors, supported by protective tools like Haystack and Brotherhood Regalia.
