# Royal Assassin (Assassin's Creed) Royal Assassin is a classic Magic effect with deep roots in the game's history, making this Assassin's Creed printing meaningful to players who appreciate mechanical legacy. The card's tap ability to destroy tapped creatures has always appealed to control-oriented players and those building around creature-heavy formats. Collectors value this version for its thematic tie-in with the video game property, offering a fresh take on a familiar design. The etched variant provides an alternative aesthetic for those seeking visual distinction. While not mechanically unique compared to previous printings, the crossover appeal and rarity status make it a solid addition for set completionists and fans of both Magic and the Assassin's Creed franchise.
