Patrol Chief: "OK, people, the Cabal intents to send Royal Assassins against our beloved king. Thankfully for us, they're idiots. They wear ridiculous white make-up with a black eye.
So kill anyone with black and white make-up."
Guard:"But, sir, what if they're just mimes?"
Patrol Chief:"I can live with a few dead mimes in my conscience."

Surprisingly affordable card.
Its more of a deterrent, not killing anything unless they are swarming. With that 1/1 body its fragile to any kind of removal + alpha strike.

Would be really sweet to try it in R/B with haste, or in grixis with haste and untap effects.
It's worth noting that if they attack with 2+ creatures you can nail 2 before they attack again.

Well he does what Assassins do best, catching people off guard. I just wish he were a 2/1 or 1/2, something to show he knows a little bit more than the common man in terms of being able to fend for himself.
4/5 from me.

Strictly better and more badass than King's Assassin.

@ZeroCube100 I'm not sure if I've ever seen such an incoherent mess of words outside of YouTube comments.

Use this card with Blind Obedience or Imposing Sovereign in a control/grind deck.

Royal Assassin + Icy Manipulator = Very Angry Opponent
When I started playing MTG back in high school the first combo I remember coming up against was Royal Assassin + Icy Manipulator. I run this guy in every black deck. I love seeing the look on my opponents face when they realize that they dare not attack me lest they want one of their creature shanked by little friend before anything touches me. Sure he's easy to kill being a 1/1 but it forces them to focus on getting rid of him while I build up to something bigger.

Oh the days, this little fella together with icy manipulator and puppet strings for some untap / untapping, and if he dies just drop an unearth and he's back for more stabbing.
His flavor text should say : "From the smallest of toads, to the biggest of mountains, I'll stab it if the price is right"
Fun addition to royal is the sorceress queens and coffin queens, I drop it and pop it, Ty for the army you want it back? Sorry it got exiled :)
