A Killer Among Us — Trust No Token A Killer Among Us sits in the enchantment slot as a quiet engine for token decks and covert plays. For {4}{G} it immediately supplies three 1/1 creature tokens across three colors, then asks you to choose one creature type in secret. That choice creates tension in combat windows because the card converts a mass of tiny bodies into a single threatening attacker when you commit to the sacrifice line.
The sacrifice ability reads like a targeted pump with a twist. Sacrifice A Killer Among Us to reveal the chosen type and if the targeted attacking creature token matches it, that token receives three +1/+1 counters and gains deathtouch until end of turn. Use it to turn a chump into a removal oriented threat, to push damage through blockers, or to bait blocks and then flip the board. The card rewards timing and reads well in decks that generate multiple small creatures and plan for a decisive swing.
