Ezio, Brash Novice — Rooftop Opportunist
Ezio, Brash Novice plays like a compact engine in aggressive midrange shells. The card rewards repeated attacks by growing itself one counter at a time and turns into a first strike threat once it has a foothold on the battlefield. As a Legendary Creature named Ezio, Brash Novice you get early board presence that scales without extra mana investment.
In practical play the 1 1 starting body and the attack triggered counter make Ezio a candidate for both equipment and counter synergies. Once it reaches two or more counters it gains first strike and the Assassin type which matters for tribal support and removal interactions. If you build around attack triggers and pump effects you can turn this Near Mint Ezio into a reliable clock or a removal deterrent for opposing blockers.
