Silent Strike Altair
Altair Ibn-La'Ahad is a compact template for aggressive play that rewards timing and graveyard setup. As a 3 3 legendary creature with first strike, Altair stakes a presence on the board and punishes opponents who leave your assassins in the yard. The Near Mint Foil showcase art emphasizes motion and precision, a useful visual cue for a card built to attack and recur creature threats during the combat step.
When Altair attacks you get to exile an Assassin creature card from your graveyard with a memory counter on it and then populate the battlefield with tapped and attacking copies of every creature card you own in exile that has a memory counter. Those tokens are exiled at end of combat so the effect buys you immediate tempo rather than long term advantage. This card plays well in decks that can seed memory counters and that want to convert sacrificial value into a decisive attack. Add this foil mythic to a Commander shell or an aggressive standard built around creature recursion and combat tricks.
