Deck overview

This deck pairs the Assassin's Creed freerunning mechanic with a competitive 5-color resource base. Commanded by Ezio Auditore da Firenze, the strategy uses early combat damage to cheat expensive threats into play for just two black mana. By using creature-type converters like Roshan, Hidden Magister and Arcane Adaptation, every creature spell becomes an Assassin that can be cast for its freerunning cost. This lets the pilot deploy Blightsteel Colossus or Razaketh, the Foulblooded as early as Turn 4. The deck secures victories through one-shot infect eliminations or by combining an Assassin attack with Ramses, Assassin Lord to win on the spot. Backed by format-ceiling 0-mana acceleration and free interaction, the deck plays with high tempo and resilience.
