Deck overview

This deck is an aggressive tribal reanimator strategy centered on Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. It uses efficient graveyard enablers like Buried Alive and Entomb to place high-impact Assassins into the graveyard early. When Altaïr attacks, he exiles these creatures with memory counters and creates tapped and attacking token copies of each exiled card. The deck amplifies this combat output using attack doublers like Isshin, Two Heavens as One, token multipliers like Anointed Procession and Mondrak, Glory Dominus, and devastating combat triggers from Unstoppable Slasher and Bayek of Siwa. Evasion tools like Reconnaissance and Cover of Darkness ensure Altaïr attacks safely, while Boros Charm and Teferi's Protection defend the board against opposing sweepers.
