Poison-Blade Mentor
Oracle Text
Deathtouch (Any amount of damage this deals to a creature is enough to destroy it.)
Whenever this creature attacks, another target Assassin you control gains deathtouch until end of turn.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Poison-Blade Mentor fits neatly into a black tempo or aggressive-sacrifice shell, where cheap evasive pressure and combat deterrence matter more than raw size. At just two mana, a 2/1 deathtouch body already discourages blocks, but its real strength is turning your attack step into a threat cascade: every time it swings, another Assassin you control can gain deathtouch, forcing awkward trades or opening the path for chip damage. In an Assassin-themed build, it pairs especially well with any deck full of small utility creatures, since even a token or secondary attacker can suddenly trade up against larger blockers. If your card pool includes effects that grant menace, first strike, or combat damage triggers, this mentor becomes even nastier by making blocking nearly impossible to profit from. The lore reads as a veteran killer training an apprentice in precise, lethal strikes, and the gameplay reflects that perfectly: patient, surgical pressure that wins by making every attack feel unsafe.
