Character Background

Distract the Guards is delightfully on-theme: it reads like an Assassin slipping away to lure sentries while three 1/1 white Human Rogues slip into the fray. Mechanically it best supports tempo and token/value strategies—casting it for the cheaper freerunning cost (after you deal combat damage with an Assassin or your commander) turns a 1WW sorcery into an efficient 1W tempo play that replaces itself with three bodies. Deckbuilding tip: include at least one cheap, evasive Assassin or commander with repeatable damage to reliably enable freerunning, and lean into token synergies—Intangible Virtue or Cathars' Crusade magnify those bodies, Anointed Procession doubles them, and sacrifice outlets or Aristrocrat pieces turn them into card draw or drains. Be mindful that it’s a sorcery, so plan your attack steps to hit freerunning, and slot it where you want either blockers, chump fodder, or a sudden flood for anthem/sacrifice payoffs.
