Phantom Blade: Silent Removal
Phantom Blade from Universes Beyond Assassin's Creed is a compact piece of removal that arrives armed and ready. When Phantom Blade enters the battlefield you can attach it to one of your creatures while simultaneously destroying one other target creature. That pairing of immediate board impact and a follow up boost makes it efficient in midrange and tempo decks that want a clean way to convert a removal spell into ongoing pressure.
The equipped creature gains a small but meaningful bump to its offensive profile with plus one plus one and menace which forces opponents to commit multiple blockers. The card reads cleanly and its Equip two cost keeps it playable on later turns. For players building around artifact synergies or equipment recursion Phantom Blade also offers a predictable slot that trades a bit of mana for tempo and a body advantage. Add it to decks that need reliable single target removal plus incremental combat upside.
