Silent Plunder
Monastery Raid rewards timing and aggression. Castable for {2}{R}, this sorcery gives you immediate card advantage by exiling the top two cards of your library with the chance to reach deeper when you have an Assassin or commander deal combat damage this turn. The freerunning mechanic lets you pay an alternate cost of X and {R} to exile the top X cards instead, turning a successful attack into a tutor like window for spells and lands you can play through your next turn.
As an experienced player you will treat Monastery Raid as a tempo tool and a follow up to evasive strikes. It reads well in decks that pressure opponents early and want to convert damage into resources. The Light Play Foil presentation makes this uncommon from Universes Beyond Assassin's Creed appealing for collectors and play decks alike. Add it to a red aggressive shell or a commander list that often hits with an Assassin to maximize the freerunning payoff.
