Whenever I kill a Baneslayer with this, I tell my opponent that they should've been running Serra Angel.

Yeah, I'm just gonna fix those autocard tags. Combos ridiculously with Thornbite Staff (it just destroys all tapped creatures). Also combos well with Urabrask the Hidden (@colvinced there's no comma, unlike ", the" dragons.

Combos well with Repel the Darkness, new card Dispatch, one half of Blinding Beam, all five versions of Blinding Mage. I see UBW control.

@Henrietta: Tapping Royal Assassin is irrelevant, because the cost is immediate and doesn't use the stack. They can kill Royal Assassin, but his ability is still on the stack and will still resolve.

Classic card, shame gatherer makes it so hard to comment on assassins. I mean, seriously, I have amassed so many assassins that I've assimilated them into almost all my decks. And yet due to the way gatherer assesses comments, my unassuming eyes are constantly assailed by an assault of asterisks, making it impossible to assess any of the comments. I will only be assuaged when the assembly at wizards re-classifies when gatherer can assert its censorship.

this art is beautiful. the content is a little strange, but the skills that created it are amazing. Mark Zug is a great artist.

also this is an amazing card, being able to tap in response to an attack being declared or an ability being activated is brilliant.

sure it's body is small but you'r not really gonna b attacking with, him.
he's boltable but resists doom blades and such.

overall a great card.

I truly love Royal Assassin because, except for vigilance creatures, there is nothing he can't deal with


THE FILTER FOR ASS IS GONE!
