Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Agate-Blade Assassin is a compact, efficient two‑drop that best supports a tempo/aggro game plan: a 1/3 body survives many early trades and its "attacks" drain tacks on incremental life swings that help you win races or stabilize against burn. Thematically it reads as a stealthy lizard that weakens foes every time it slips forward, and mechanically it rewards attacking even when blocked. Build it into aggressive black decks or Aristocrat‑style shells where cheap repeatable attacks matter; it shines alongside evasive enablers (Whispersilk Cloak, Rogue’s Passage, or simple pump spells) to convert every attack into a guaranteed life swing. A specific high‑impact synergy is with "life‑gain payoff" cards: enchantments or effects that punish or double your life gain will multiply the Assassin’s value. In limited play prioritize multiple copies as early pressure and favor removal to clear flyers—this card is low-variance, incremental advantage that converts tempo into a steady life buffer.
