Haytham Kenway — Calculated Strike
Haytham Kenway plays like an operative you keep in reserve until the right moment. Cast him and you get a compact package of tempo and disruption that rewards careful timing. In playtesting he reads as a value piece for control or midrange shells that want a removal threat that also taxes opponents when it hits the board.
The printed Haytham Kenway supports an assassination style of play. He arrives with an enter the battlefield trigger that targets a tapped or attacking creature and removes it from combat or the battlefield for a turn, letting your board stabilize. He pairs well with bounce, removal, or equipment suites and gives you a reliable late game angle without overstaying his welcome in the clock.
