this is the best assassin in magic. great with dark ritual cuz it can get out the first turn and start beating right away.
the only thing this card cant beat is progenitus!

It also cant beat any black creature, any creature with shroud, any creature with protection from black, protection from creatures, protection from converted mana cost 3 or less. That said, it's still a pretty good card, and its Recover has also been pretty useful from time to time.

Eternity Vessel. IT'S THE INFINISPHERE OF DOOOOOM!!!
With no drawbacks, either.

More like a suicide bomber than an a s s a s s i n, I prefer royal a s s a s s i n over this, and they cost the same, royal doesn't die when he kills and can also take down black creatures. Killing them while they're tapped is more a s s a s s i n like too.

@ Deathtol: You need to learn to read the card. From Platinum Emperion: Your life total can't change. (You can't gain or lose life. You can't pay any amount of life except 0.) It prevents you from paying life. This guy is even worse with Platinum Emperion since he's exiled the first time a creatures goes to your graveyard.
Interestingly enough, he has a special version of recover, since he is the only creature with it, to avoid confusion (I suspect) it says "another creature" while all others say "a creature"

For those who doesn't want to pay the life, Grim Harvest is another option.
Also, Garza's Assassin is better than Royal Assassin in one regard; you can use his ability when he comes into play, Royal Assassin cannot due to summoning sickness.

@ Metalovolence: I made an assassin tribal deck, so hilarious, so surprisingly good. This guy makes my day, until you realize your opponent is playing mono-black. But seriously, this is one awesome card!
