King's Assassin
Oracle Text
{T}: Destroy target tapped creature. Activate only during your turn, before attackers are declared.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
King’s Assassin is a clean, ruthless tempo tool in Magic: The Gathering, and its design rewards precise timing as much as board control. A 1/1 for three mana is not impressive on stats, but the tap ability turns it into a repeatable executioner for any tapped creature, as long as you use it during your turn before attackers are declared. That makes it especially strong in control or midrange shells that can force awkward attacks, tap down blockers, or capitalize on combat after an opponent has already committed a creature. It pairs well with cards that tap enemy creatures—such as frost effects, tap-down auras, or combat tricks that bait attacks—because it converts those temporary openings into permanent removal. In Limited, it can dominate stalled boards; in Constructed, it asks for support but offers efficient, repeatable pressure if you can reliably create tapped targets.
