Assassin

For the Urza's Destiny theme deck, see Urza's Destiny/Theme decks#Assassin.

Assassin is a creature class. The first creature to bear the type was the Royal Assassin in Alpha. Assassins specialize in one thing: killing. Assassins are amoral in the extreme, ending the lives of others for money or the thrill of killing. Assassins often have abilities that let them directly destroy other creatures. The majority of assassins are black.
