Deck overview

This deck is an aggressive Mardu Assassin tribal and reanimation deck commanded by Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. The primary game plan fills the graveyard with lethal Assassin creatures using targeted tutors like Buried Alive and Entomb, then attacks with Altaïr to exile them with memory counters and create attacking token copies. Threats like Virtus the Veiled and Unstoppable Slasher rapidly cut opponents' life totals in half, while Bayek of Siwa, Vein Ripper, and Akroma's Will provide explosive finishes. Permanence enablers like The Master, Multiplied and Sundial of the Infinite prevent the end-of-combat exile trigger, allowing you to retain an overwhelming permanent board of Assassins. The deck achieves critical onset by Turn 5 and closes the game on Turn 6. Because memory counters stay on exiled cards permanently, the deck retains strong recovery even if Altaïr is removed.
