The Assassin's Creed set is part of the Universes Beyond product line for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering. Universes Beyond brings in franchises f𝓰rom꧙ other pieces of media and brings them into the world of Magic in the way of cards designed based on that world and characters.

Assassin's Creed uses Beyond Boosters and is a mini-set consisting of a lower-than-average number of cards for a set. The set is Modern-legal and includes cards both new entirely and reprints that are new to Modern to make them legal there. Despite the smaller set size, there are a handful of reprints that are very welcomed, both for power reasons and because they haven't seen a printing in years.

10 Horiꦜzon Lands 🌌

Pain Or Draw

The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Horizon land cycle is one of lands that can tap for one life to add one of two colors, or be tapped with one mana paid to draw a card. The cycle sees a lot o♑f play in Modern, making reprints very welcome𒊎d.

They are unconditional untapped dual lands, though to make mana with them, you do have to pay life. However, this isn't much of a downside when you have access to easy color fixing to make sure you can always cast your spells. In Modern, you are expecting to pay a lot of life, so only needing one spent is a small drop in a large pond.

9 ꦉ Fatal Push 📖

Revolting Removal

Fatal Push is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:one of the best removal spells in Magic's history. It's especially good in Modern with fetchlands in the format, making it trivial to turn on Fatal Push's revolt ability to destroy any creature with a mana value of four or less.

There is no shortage of staple creatures Fatal Push can hit in the format. In slow💝er midrange and control decks, Fatal Push is an excellent choice for removal, as it can hit most relevant creatures in the format. It sees play in non-Modern formats as well, mak🧔ing the reprint appreciated by players of many formats.

8 𝄹 Conspiracy ಌ

Every Creature Becomes One

If you're playing a deck with cards that care about a specific creature type, Conspiracy is the card for you. It turns all your cards into one creature type, which makes it easy for you to take advantage of the support cards for whatever creature type you name.

While Conspiracy is a bit too slow for 💖Modern or any other constructed formats, it has a solid home in the Commander format, where there is a lot more support for specific creature types. It does cost a bit to cast, but once it hits the battlefield, you can immediately start reaping the benefits of Conspiracy.

7 Coastal Piracy𓆏 ꦑ

Creature Card Draw

Coastal Piracy, despite its name, isn't 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:just support for Pirate decks, but it's good for any kind of creature-based decks. Anytime any creature connects for combat damage, that creature draws you a card. Notably, this triggers for each creature, not just one a turn, allowing you to potentially draw a ton of cards with just one attack.

What makes Coastal Piracy so good is that it doesn't matter how much damage is dealt. So long as at least one damage is dealt, you get a card draw from that creature. It's a low-casting cost as well, making it easy to take advantage of it during the early stages of the game to keep your hand fresh.

6 ꦡ Temporal Trespass ꦓ

Cheap Extra Turn

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:One of the best extra turn spells in the entire game, Temporal Trespass sees its first reprint nearly a decade after its original release in 2015's Fate Reforged. Despite costing 11 mana, since it has delve, it's very easy to cast for only three blue mana in the right decks.

There's a reason delve is considered one of the best abilities of all time, with Temporal Trespass being a major reason as to why. Extra turns are nearly always beneficial and can even lead to winning the game with the right game-states.

5 Black Market Connections ꦫ

New To Modern

While 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Black Market Connect𓄧ions has had a few p๊rintings, the Assassin's Creed printing is the first time it's been printed in a Modern-legal set, meaning with the release of Assassin's Creed, it will be legal in Modern for the first time.

The card is fantastic and can quickly ramp you, draw you cards, or give you a board presence. It does cost life to do so, and with only 20 starting life, you'll have to be careful not to accidentally burn yourself out of the game, as it's mandatory to do at least one effect. In decks like Death's Shadow, it's another way to get your life lower to use the titular card to its full power.

4 Sword O﷽f Light A🐻nd Shadow

Card Recursion On A Creature

The Sword Of X and Y cycle 🐭is often among the best. Even with the weaker effects, getting protection from two different colors is the main attraction of the card. Sword of Light and Shadow is one of the weaker swords, but it does protect you from white and black, which are two of the most common colors for removal spells.

Sword of Light and Shadow can help you get a creature back from the graveyard to keep using it if one ever does get removed. While cute, you're primarily playing this particular sword for its protection effect.

3 🌸 Sword Of Feast And Famine ൩

Easy Ramp, Forced Discard

Sword of Feast and Famine is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:one of the best in the 🎐Sword of X and Y𝔉 cycle. Protection from black is always appreciated to stay safe from most removal spells, and the effect to untap all your lands 💟when you deal combat damage while e𝄹quipped is fantastic.

Sword of Feast and F🐬amine is great for ramping, allowing you to essentially use all of your lands twice. Since it protects against colors, you can choose to attack which opponent only has creatures of those c൩olors to ensure you get the effect off.

2 ༺ Reconnaissance

Save Creatures From Battle

Reconnaissance's Assassin's Creed printing is the first non-Secret Lair printing for the card, last seen in its original printing in Exodus all the way back in 1998. The card is a great tool for combat, as it can be used to save your creature from any combat tricks by simply removing them from combat.

With Assassin's Creed, it is also the first time the card will be legal in Modern. While combat tricks are less plentiful in Modern, a reprint for Reconnaissance is appreciated with how high the price tag was for the card.

1 Cover Of Darkness 🦂

Fear It

Cover Of Darkness was a card that rapidly increased in price, as prior to Assassin's Creed, it only had its original printing in the Onslaught set way back in 2002. It took over two decades for Cover of Darkness to get a reprint, and it's one of the best ones in Assassin's Creed (that also makes it Modern legal).

Fear is a fantastic static ability to have, as artifact creatures are often rare, and it relies on your opponents having black creatures if they are going to be able to block your creatures. It's best in decks playing one creature type, and since it only costs two mana, it can make powerful creatures evasive very early.
