The Assassin’s Creed Collection It supports Modern, Commander, Legacy and Vintage. They will be launched starter, main and upgrade setsbut we recommend starting with the initial set.
Wizards of the Coast has revealed a new look at the main cards of the setwith the most important characters from the Ubisoft franchise.
This is what the main cards of Magic x Assassin’s Creed look like
Altair Ibn La’Ahad: Its red, white and black color chart is an example of the versatility of this killer. It strikes first and whenever it attacks, exile up to one target Assassin creature card from your graveyard with a memory counter on it.
Edward James Kenway: Powerful assassin faithful to the black flag game of which he was the protagonist, a high-cost card but with high performance. This is a human assassin pirate, who at the beginning of your final step, creates a treasure token (like a good pirate) for each Assassin, Pirate and/or tapped Vehicle you control.
Bayek of Siwa: An assassin that in Magic could be said to be the colors of the more classic Boros. A double-damage creature with very good defense and attack, no less than a 3/4. While it is your turn, other historical creatures (such as Cleopatra) have the ability to strike twice.
Aveline de Grandpré: A pure green card that for 4 mana has deathtouch and an ability that benefits creatures with deathtouch. Whenever a creature with moral touch deals combat damage to a player, put that many +1/+1 counters on that creature.
Desmond Miles: A fast, 1/3 card with menace. Desmond Miles gets +1/+0 for each other Assassin you control and for each Assassin card in your graveyard. Whenever Desmond Miles deals combat damage to a player, scan X, where X is the amount of damage he dealt to that player.
Jacob and Evie Frye: Jacob Frye is a card that makes it so that whenever one or more Assassins you control deal combat damage to a player, exile up to one Assassin card or card with the parkour ability (new ability) from your graveyard.
Evie Frye, for her part, for one colorless mana and tapping it allows her to draw a card and then discard a card. When you discard a creature card this way, target creature you control can’t be blocked this turn.
Kassandra, Eagle Beaer: His card is a fast card, with haste and when it enters the battlefield, you search your graveyard, hand or library for a card called ‘Leonidas’ Spear’, put it on the battlefield and shuffle.
The weapon is a legendary artifact that is equipped for 2 colorless mana, and with abilities that will make Kassandra almost invincible on the table.
Ezio Uditore Da Firenze: Being one of the most popular characters in the saga, his presence is noticeable. Two cards, “Ezio, Blade of Vengeance” and “Ezio, Daring Beginner” are a clear example of his importance.
The first is a card with deathtouch that every time an assassin deals combat damage to a player, they draw a card.
Eivor, Matalovos: One of the most impressive cards in the edition. A card that for 3 colorless mana, a forest, a plain and a mountain, can seem high cost. But it has 7 attack and 6 defense, overwhelm and haste. He enters like a Viking, destroying everything in his path.
Whenever Eivor, Wolfsbane deals combat damage to a player, you mill that many cards.
The collection also includes ability cards, which allow you to perform actions such as the Leap of Faith, the Eagle Vision, the Sword of abundance and scarcityamong other.
Magic: Assassin’s Creed en the new collaboration in the Wizards of the Coast universewhich will be available on Amazon and specialized stores starting July 5, 2024. It will be a great party for fans of the Ubisoft franchise, so don’t miss it.
