Brotherhood Regalia

Description

Brotherhood Regalia is an Artifact Equipment card featured in the 2024 Assassin's Creed expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Identified as card number 71 with the set code ACR, this Uncommon rarity piece brings a distinct mechanical identity to the game. Designed by artist Xabi Gaztelua, the card functions as Equipment, allowing players to attach it to a creature to enhance its capabilities on the battlefield. The card’s primary function revolves around protection and stealth. When equipped, it grants the attached creature Ward {2}, a mechanic that forces opponents to pay mana to target it. Additionally, the creature becomes an Assassin in addition to its other types and gains the ability to not be blocked. This combination makes it a strategic choice for players looking to protect key units while maintaining offensive pressure. The equip costs provide flexibility, allowing players to attach the Regalia to a legendary creature for {1} or any target creature for {3}. For collectors, Brotherhood Regalia represents the intersection of two major franchises. As an Uncommon card, it is accessible for set completionists while offering unique gameplay utility. The flavor text, "An Assassin's best armor is not being seen," reinforces the thematic connection to the source material without overshadowing the mechanical design. Collectors interested in completing the Assassin's Creed set or building decks around the Assassin keyword will find Brotherhood Regalia a valuable addition to their library. Its design and rules text reflect the careful integration of crossover themes into the established Magic framework.
