Character Background

Hidden Blade evokes the assassin’s cunning: an instant tool that can slip onto a creature the moment you need a lethal edge. In gameplay terms it is primarily a tempo/aggro support piece — Flash lets you convert a cheap Assassin into removal at instant speed, and the +1/+0 with first strike turns most favorable blocks into clean trades; if the creature was already an Assassin it gains deathtouch on entry, making it a one-shot answer to larger threats. Treat it as a combat trick and disruption spell in midrange shells as well: hold up two mana and flash it to punish attacks or kill key blockers. Synergies to exploit include packing multiple low-cost Assassin creatures (so the ETB deathtouch window is easy to hit), creatures with evasion to turn small bodies into damage sinks, and ways to cheat equipment onto the battlefield or reduce Equip costs so you can keep the threat online after the surprise attach.
