    It's fitting that in the assassin video, we have a card creeping up to take out #1.

    Royal Assassin was the first "choice" rare I pursued to put together a playset via trading before I started buying cards online. Good memories of playing casual with friends just getting into the game and my 4x Royal Assassins terrifying them to attack. Ah, the very early 2000s.

      Yup, Royal Assassin made attacking an extremely awkward affair. And then there was Kismet.

      4x Royal Assassin, 4x Will O The Wisp and 4x Sorceress Queens. Stall for time while you gather your 4x Sengir Vampires, destroy their lands with your 4x Demonic Hordes, drain their life with 4x Drain Life and then feed everything to your 4x Lord of the Pit. Old school black decks were fun.

      I remember when I was new to the game and it was announced Royal Assassin was getting reprinted in 8th Edition, with Icy Manipulator being reprinted in Mirrodin right after that. I was super hype to try to build a deck with those. Of course, it wasn't actually a good combo at that point, but it ruled in kitchen table play.

    I feel like if Royal Assassin were reprinted nowadays, it would be a common because of power creep. It was really feared back in the day. We would argue if a Prodigal Sorcerer could destroy untapped Royal Assassin. Eventually, I got tired of arguing and just ran Twiddle to tap it, THEN I would kill it. :)

    Love Royal Assassin. Probably my favorite black card of all time. Simple but strong effect that has long since been power crept but still decent removal in more limited formats.

    In my Rakdos commander deck Murderous Redcap is a fantastic card. I can get it off twice, get it back on my upkeep with my commander Wort, Boggart Auntie, and it combos with a kitchen sink to allow it to go infinite way too easily. I use Metallic Mimic and a sac outlet for the infinite recursion, or if I happen to have Ashnod’s Altar and Nim Deathmantle out, that works, too.

  • @bobhockey2509
    @bobhockey2509 Місяць тому

    I don't remember the entire decklist, but Murderous Redcap + Sigil Captain were both legal in standard at the same time. I believe my sacrifice outlets were Marsh Flitter and Nantuko Husk.

    She's not "Queen Marchesa at home", Thorn of the Black Rose is Queen Marchesa's most loyal deniable asset. Marchesa herself is "the Black Rose". It makes perfect sense that the Thorn sees more action; she's there so Marchesa doesn't have to get her hands dirty.

    Royal assassin seems like it wouldn't be as good as it is. Sure power creep and all makes it easy to kill but the amount of times holding a untapped royal assassin has stalled certain combats for me is really funny.

    Assassin's Creed is going to be, unfortunately, like the Transformers set, where they try to fit a variety of archetypes into the set. This is fine for a normal set but it means that it will be hard to build an assassin tribal commander deck.
