Character Background
Jacob Frye reads like the signature threat of an aggressive-value build: a cheap, evasive assassin that converts combat damage into repeatable resource advantage. The trigger—exiling an Assassin or a card with freerunning from your graveyard to copy it and let you cast that copy—rewards swarming with cheap, evasive bodies and stocking the graveyard, so the game plan is tempo with a strong value/combo angle rather than pure control. Build around one-drops and recurring Assassin threats, include reliable evasion (freerunning enablers, unblockable effects, or haste/evasion-granting equipment) so Jacob consistently connects, and add self-mill or discard outlets to load useful Assassin cards into the graveyard ahead of time. Partner with Evie Frye gives a built-in tutor/consistency play—target yourself to fetch Evie when Jacob enters—which amplifies paired-gameplans and commander synergy. Specific tip: include multiple Assassin subtypes and cards that grant freerunning to maximize triggers, plus a couple of nonguard recursion tools to protect your key pieces while you turn combat damage into repeated castable threats.
