Basim on the Roof
Basim Ibn Ishaq
As a 2 2 Legendary Creature Human Assassin Basim scales in value through combat. Whenever Basim deals combat damage to a player you put a plus one slash plus one counter on it which turns evasion into a growing threat across the mid game. Build around cheap historic spells or include a few tutors and artifact utility to maximize triggers and keep pressure on opponents. Practical in Commander and compact enough for two player formats this Basim favors careful sequencing and tempo. Add him to your pile and let the triggers do the work.
