Deck overview

This deck is a specialized Mardu Assassin tribal strategy commanded by Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. It blends aggressive combat with graveyard reanimation. The deck uses efficient discard and entomb effects like Buried Alive, Faithless Looting, and Vile Entomber to place potent Assassins into the graveyard during the early turns. Once Altaïr attacks, he exiles these Assassins with memory counters to create temporary tapped and attacking token copies. These tokens trigger powerful enter-the-battlefield abilities, group drain effects like Warleader's Call and Impact Tremors, and devastating combat damage multipliers like Bayek of Siwa and Unstoppable Slasher. Synergies such as The Master, Multiplied and Sundial of the Infinite prevent the end-of-combat token exile clause, building an overwhelming army. Backed by solid spot removal and resilient re-exile mechanics, the deck presents a compounding mid-game clock.
