Silent Edge
Hidden Blade brings a compact package of interaction and combat upside to artifact-based builds. The foil Near Mint printing from Universes Beyond Assassin's Creed is true to form with flash allowing surprise plays and an enter the battlefield clause that attaches the equipment immediately to a creature you control. If that creature is an Assassin it gains deathtouch until end of turn which turns even small bodies into credible threats when combined with the Blade's combat modifiers.
Equipped creatures gain a concrete incremental boost of plus one power and first strike which favors tempo and favorable trades. The low casting cost of {2} and an equip cost of {2} make this a practical inclusion in aggro and midrange shells that can exploit instant timing. From a deckbuilding perspective Hidden Blade is utility equipment that rewards creature synergies and interaction sequencing. Pick this foil Near Mint copy if you want a tactical tool that reads well in both limited and constructed lists.
