Wow this is much better than the reprint's art. As is true for most cards.
Combo this with Gravepact and Nether Shadow to clear the board fast.

Artwork is bomb on this. Cards pretty good too! Also it can kill Artifacts.

I like this guy, and the art is beastly. He's good for many different small-scale combos.

Heh, the 7th edition version looks like crap compared to this one. Though, now that I think about the artist of the 7th edition version reading this comment and feelind bad: no the 7th edition art is not thaaat bad, it's to some part also because of the white border on it.
Still, this one looks better. Ain't a bad creature either. Can sac tokens, or himself, or creatures you stole or anything else. And he can kill most creatures, without requiring any mana or stuff. And in the worst case he can swing for two damage.

One of my favorite Assassins! He is extremely well balanced too
@majinara oh yeah I forgot I could attack with him, this will definetly change the way I play against mono black decks (before I just discarded him or sacrificed him to hell's caretaker)
I'd much rather be stabbed with a Pithing Needle than this guy's weapon, that thing promises a painful death.

YES. Royal Assassin is MUCH better. Usually. I've used this guy with DISGUSTING results in casual multiplayer. though. Grave Pact anyone? Sometimes it's good to be able to get rid of your own stuff. (Abyssal Persecutor)

Rated almost an entire star higher than the old art.

Solid repeatable removal that swing for 2 in a pinch. Plus, he's a Zombie!
For those saying this combos with Grave Pact: not in duels. The Grave Pact trigger resolves first, so your opponent can just sac the creature you've targeted with the assassin's ability.
