Description
The Royal Assassin is a distinct Black creature card from the 2010 Magic: The Gathering M11 release. Printed as card number 116, this foil variant carries a Rare rarity designation within the core set structure. Players value this card for its efficient mana cost of three black mana, making it a accessible option for decks focusing on removal and board control. The card’s ability allows players to tap the creature to destroy a target tapped creature, providing strategic utility in combat phases. As a Human Assassin with 1 power and 1 toughness, it fits neatly into creature-heavy archetypes while delivering immediate impact. The foil treatment adds visual appeal, distinguishing this version from non-foil prints. This product represents a key component for builders interested in Black-aligned strategies from the Modern era of the game.
