come on now, we aren't in the magic of yesteryear any more. This card IS lacking. First of all, it's a legend. You can only have one of these guys on the field at a time, which severely limits the usefulness of its ability. Secondly, it's casting cost is mediocre at best. Sure, better than most early creatures, but not remotely notable today. Being immune to enchantments is more of a hindrance than a benefit nowadays, as most people would sooner run path to exile than a pacifism. Finally, it's ability is NOT better than royal assassin. In fact it is worse if anything. You should go sit in a corner and think about how stupid that sounds. You have to pay 4 mana to use it, and you can only use it once a turn since it's a LEGEND. I'd just stick with 2 diabolic edicts. Which, by the way, has the same CMC. The ability to target blocking creatures isn't really that great, since you could always just use one of the legions of black creature-kill instants.
How did he almost kil... (see all)

One of the best creatures in Legends.

hmm, could he be related to Toshiro Umezawa by any chance? Perhaps the magic sword that will destroy Bolas will be Umezawa's Jitte then haha
now all we need is a legendary scottmsan and a sword equipment with magic runes. I bet the equipment already exists actually

His activated ability is mana-intensive, but he's a 3/3 for three mana, and for that alone is one of the more balanced cards in Legends. His aura-shroud ability and being black (which saved him from Terror, the most common black removal spell in those years) offered some protection.
