Rooftop Assassin — Silent Strike Above the Streetlights
Rooftop Assassin plays like a precision tool for black decks that want interaction on the opponent turn. The creature arrives with Flash and immediately presents a threat with Flying and lifelink, letting you block its life swing into favorable trades. Its enter the battlefield trigger destroys a creature an opponent controls that was dealt damage this turn, which pairs cleanly with burn spells, combat tricks, or damage from other attackers.
In Outlaws of Thunder Junction the card reads like a tactical option rather than a blunt answer. Use it to finish off a wounded blocker or to punish overcommitment. The Medium Play foil shown here carries the set art mood and makes the card a practical pick for sideboards or budget commander builds that value efficient removal packaged on a evasive body.
