Slip the Watch with a Smile
Distract the Guards is a pragmatic Sorcery that rewards timing and an Assassin led game plan. At {1}{W}{W} it fits cleanly into midrange and token strategies that want a quick board presence. The freerunning clause makes this card more than a vanilla token spell because it can be cast for {1}{W} when you connect with an Assassin or your commander, turning a successful attack into immediate board development.
The printed effect creates three 1 1 white Human Rogue creature tokens which work as chump blockers, unexpected attackers, or fodder for sacrifice synergies. The art and flavor text lean into Assassin lore and cityscape tactics making this a thematic pick for decks that leverage combat hits and token value. Add this Near Mint Foil to your collection or deck and use it to snowball tempo after a single successful strike.
