Altair in the Shadows
Altair Ibn-La'Ahad brings a compact, efficient threat to the table that rewards thoughtful sequencing and graveyard investment. This Legendary Creature delivers first strike and a recursion engine tied to Assassin creature cards with memory counters. You can reuse key pieces from your graveyard and turn them into immediate pressure by creating tapped attacking copies for each qualifying card you hold in exile, making Altair a practical linchpin for aggressive midrange or thematic Assassin decks.
The Light Play foil finish highlights the art and frame in a way that signals rarity without distracting from gameplay. Use Altair Ibn-La'Ahad to leverage sacrifice loops or to capitalize on one for one trades that replenish your board the same combat step. Players familiar with Universes Beyond crossover pieces will appreciate how the card channels Assassin's Creed tactics into Magic parlance. Add this mythic foil to a Commander or Pioneer sideboard to increase options for tempo recovery and surprise attacks.
