Rooftop Assassin — Silent Strike from Above
Rooftop Assassin rewards thoughtful timing and targeted removal. With Flash you can deploy it on your opponent's end step or in response to a combat trick. Its Flying and lifelink let it trade favorably in the air while converting damage into life. The body is compact at two power and two toughness so it excels in precision plays rather than extended brawls.
The enter the battlefield trigger reads like a built in assassination contract. If a creature an opponent controls was dealt damage this turn you can destroy it when Rooftop Assassin arrives. That interaction makes this card valuable alongside burn spells, deathtouch blockers or any source that can mark a creature for removal earlier in the turn. Practical, efficient, and easy to slot into control shells or midrange lists that value tempo and disruption.
