Silent Strike of Firenze
Ezio Auditore da Firenze arrives as a one mana plus one black investment that reads like a toolbox for aggressive, interactive decks. Ezio has menace which forces two blockers or an open lane, and he makes your Assassin spells carry freerunning for {B}{B} so your threats can be cast the turn you land damage with an Assassin or your commander. He is a compact tempo engine that threads through blockers and sets up lethal windows with precision rather than brute force.
When Ezio connects he offers a true finishing line. His triggered ability lets you pay a full five color mana cost to capitalize on a low life total and close out a game when the opponent is already strained. In practical play Ezio rewards careful attack timing and evasive support. Use him to pressure life totals, tax blockers, and convert a narrow lead into a clean win. Add him to decks that value creature damage, combat triggers, and high payoff top end.

Assassin spells you cast have freerunning {B}{B}. (You may cast a spell for its freerunning cost if you dealt combat damage to a player this turn with an Assassin or commander.)
Whenever Ezio deals combat damage to a player, you may pay {W}{U}{B}{R}{G}. If you do and that player has 10 or less life, that player loses the game.
