Assassin by TenguHangover

Format: Commander

Commander: Ramses, Assassin Lord

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is an Assassin tribal voltron deck that wins by making one opponent lose the game with an Assassin attack, then converting that loss into a table win with Ramses, Assassin Lord. Ramses gives other Assassins +1/+1 and reads: if a player you attacked with an Assassin loses the game that turn, you win the game. The deck therefore focuses on evasive, deathtouch Assassins that can connect reliably. Etrata, the Silencer acts as a hidden commander with its own three-hit loss trigger that directly enables Ramses. Secondary paths are life-halving, infect, and Vorpal Sword, all sharing the same need to deal combat damage with an unblockable Assassin.
