Edward Kenway

Description

The 2024 Magic: The Gathering Assassin's Creed expansion brings the high seas to the tabletop with Edward Kenway as card number 53. As a Mythic Rare foil, this legendary creature stands out for its striking finish and significant in-game power. Designed by Borja Pindado, the card captures the essence of the pirate protagonist, blending the fantasy mechanics of Magic with the historical adventure of the Assassin's Creed universe. Edward Kenway is a Legendary Creature — Human Assassin Pirate with a mana cost of {2}{U}{B}{R} and a power/toughness of 5/5. This three-color identity allows for versatile deck building, utilizing blue, black, and red mana to execute aggressive strategies. The card’s abilities are designed to reward players for controlling specific permanent types. At the beginning of your end step, you create a Treasure token for each tapped Assassin, Pirate, and/or Vehicle you control. This generates mana efficiently, fueling further spells and attacks. Additionally, whenever a Vehicle you control deals combat damage to a player, you look at the top card of that player's library and exile it face down. You may play that exiled card for as long as it remains exiled. This creates a continuous stream of value, allowing you to access your opponent's resources. The card is a sought-after piece for collectors who appreciate the crossover between popular video game franchises and trading card games.
