Royal Assassin was the first "choice" rare I pursued to put together a playset via trading before I started buying cards online. Good memories of playing casual with friends just getting into the game and my 4x Royal Assassins terrifying them to attack. Ah, the very early 2000s.
Yup, Royal Assassin made attacking an extremely awkward affair. And then there was Kismet.
It's a "chase" rare . Not "choice"
4x Royal Assassin, 4x Will O The Wisp and 4x Sorceress Queens. Stall for time while you gather your 4x Sengir Vampires, destroy their lands with your 4x Demonic Hordes, drain their life with 4x Drain Life and then feed everything to your 4x Lord of the Pit. Old school black decks were fun.
Sad that Royal Assassin didn't make the list. Good times back in the day imprinting my RAs on Soul Foundry and doling out an army of tappy assassins.
It's fitting that in the assassin video, we have a card creeping up to take out #1.
I knew it wouldn't be on here, but its sad to not see royal assassin in the list anywhere.
I used to play a group game deck with Royal Assassins, Giant Oysters, Word of Binding, and of course Icy's. It was so stupid and so fun.
The original Royal Assassin was one of my favorite cards & artwork.
I feel like if Royal Assassin were reprinted nowadays, it would be a common because of power creep. It was really feared back in the day. We would argue if a Prodigal Sorcerer could destroy untapped Royal Assassin. Eventually, I got tired of arguing and just ran Twiddle to tap it, THEN I would kill it. :)
Royal Assassin is being reprinted in the AssCreed set as a rare.
Was this before the stack existed? Or am I missing something? Seems obvious that it should work lol
@@derekcline950 It was when the internet barely existed and us dumb kids in middle school didn't know the rules of the game.
Love Royal Assassin. Probably my favorite black card of all time. Simple but strong effect that has long since been power crept but still decent removal in more limited formats.
Ooo.
Is top 10 cycles possible? Or too difficult to calculate?
In my Rakdos commander deck Murderous Redcap is a fantastic card. I can get it off twice, get it back on my upkeep with my commander Wort, Boggart Auntie, and it combos with a kitchen sink to allow it to go infinite way too easily. I use Metallic Mimic and a sac outlet for the infinite recursion, or if I happen to have Ashnod’s Altar and Nim Deathmantle out, that works, too.
Ayyyy must be midnight
Who remembers that time when Mr. Magic tried to change the time of day he uploads and the most polite riot ensued?
Wasn't expecting redcap, I forgot it was an assassin.
I don't remember the entire decklist, but Murderous Redcap + Sigil Captain were both legal in standard at the same time. I believe my sacrifice outlets were Marsh Flitter and Nantuko Husk.
Massacre girl ist Just such a cool Card
Always had a soft spot for cards with assassin in card name back in the days, never knew it would become an own tribal one day. I used to love Notorious Assassin, from Mercadian Masques and of course Royal Assassin
Vraska the Unseen is a great ult. I won with it after pulling it on Urza at a draft.
Im also shocked Royal Ass didnt make the list. I think hes getting a reprint in the Ass Creed set.
Now this is live laugh murder content
Can you do 10 worst Urza's Block cards? Urza's Block is (rightfully) infamous for being OP, but there has to be some stinkers.
Flavor Win with Outlaws
Ahhh pod decks and splinter twin 😢 Nabu better join them soon 😅
Royal assassin seems like it wouldn't be as good as it is. Sure power creep and all makes it easy to kill but the amount of times holding a untapped royal assassin has stalled certain combats for me is really funny.
*Humph* kids and their "birthing pods and assassinss" combos, *grumph* in my day we used Royal Assassin and Icy Maniplator, *cough*
Ahhh assassins, I don't think I've played many assassins. However, I have hired many assassins to take out people who tried to stop me from getting "Top 10 Vintage Cards (Minus Power 9)", so nobody try and stop me!
Edgy comments like this might be frowned upon, but they do get to the point.
@@stuflames4769 Honestly I had literally no other joke I could think of other than this remarkably edgy garbage.
@@TheGloriousLobsterEmperor sometimes you just have to cut to the chase and take a stab in the dark.
@@stuflames4769 *Fuck I should have wrote that.*
@@TheGloriousLobsterEmperor even the best of us sometimes miss our mark.
Long may she reign
Birthing pod? Never heard of him
Assassin's Creed is going to be, unfortunately, like the Transformers set, where they try to fit a variety of archetypes into the set. This is fine for a normal set but it means that it will be hard to build an assassin tribal commander deck.
Marchesa!!! In Italian the "ch" is pronounced like "k"!!! She comes from a plane based on Italy (Florence) in the Renaissance, please pronounce her name as Markesa.
Sadly Assassins Trophy doesn't qualify as an assassin :(
No respect to the royal assassin
It made an appearance at least
