Silent Strike: Lydia Frye
Lydia Frye is a tight, efficient blue attacker built to slip past big blockers and scrub your deck. Play her as a low cost tempo piece that attacks the midrange curve; she cannot be blocked by creatures with power 3 or greater which forces unfavorable chump blocks or opens free damage lanes. Her 3 power on a 3 2 body presents an immediate clock while her evasion taxes opponents who rely on larger defenders.
Her end step ability ties into a focused graveyard and information game. At the beginning of your end step you surveil X where X equals the number of tapped Assassins you control. That creates repeatable selection and fuels synergies that care about the top of your library or the graveyard. Use her in a deck with other Assassin creatures or cards that tap your team to turn each attack into card advantage and setup for future plays. Practical, compact, and tuned for tempo play patterns.
