Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Hired Blade is a straightforward but useful three-mana ambush creature that naturally fits black tempo and midrange shells. A 3/2 body with flash means it can come down at the end of an opponent’s turn, threaten combat math immediately, and often punish an overextended attacker or a tapped-out defender. In Assassin’s Creed, the name reinforces the feel of a covert operative hired for a clean, sudden strike rather than a prolonged fight, which matches the card’s gameplay role nicely. Because it is a Human Assassin, it also slots cleanly into tribal or “rogue’s gallery” style builds that care about creature type, and it pairs well with sacrifice outlets or death-trigger payoffs since trading up is often its best line. In limited, it is an efficient tempo card; in constructed, it rewards decks that want to leave mana open and pressure life totals without committing too early.
