Shadow Cloak for the Assassin
Cover of Darkness is a compact tool for decks that tax the meta through narrow answers. For {1}{B} this enchantment reads as printed: as it enters the battlefield choose a creature type then creatures of the chosen type have fear. That interaction turns opposing tribal synergies into liabilities, trading board presence for evasive liability with no upkeep cost to maintain the effect.
The extended art frames the Assassin's Creed mood and helps this card fit into draft builds and sideboards that face token armies or creature-led combos. Use it as a tempo play to convert ground stalls into air gaps or as a disruption piece against a key creature tribe. Experienced players will note that choosing the type on entry makes timing and sequencing important when you want to deny blockers or protect a swing turn.
