Ochran Assassin

Deathtouch
All creatures able to block this creature do so.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Ochran Assassin is a tiny but terrifying presence for Golgari-style decks, pairing deathtouch with a forced-blocking clause that turns every attack into a trap. In practice, it best supports tempo and midrange game plans: opponents either throw away their best creature into it or watch their entire board get dragged into bad blocks. Because all creatures able to block it must do so, it also punishes token swarms and clogged boards, making combat math miserable for the other side. The Elf Assassin flavor fits perfectly: a patient hunter slipping through the undergrowth, impossible to ignore once it’s in striking distance. Deckbuilding-wise, pair it with effects that grant trample, menace, or power boosts so it can convert forced blocks into real damage, and consider sacrifice or recur packages to exploit trades. Equipment and pump spells are especially strong, since even a small attack can trade up dramatically.
