Rooftop Strike
Rooftop Assassin from Outlaws of Thunder Junction slots into black aggro and midrange decks with clean utility. The creature combines Flash with flying and lifelink so it answers threats while stabilizing life totals. Its enter the battlefield trigger lets you finish off a creature an opponent controls that was dealt damage this turn which rewards precise sequencing and combat planning.
Play this card when you need a surprise removal that also gains you life. It reads well with pings and deathtouch trades and pairs with combat damage tricks or direct damage spells to turn a small hit into board advantage. The foil Near Mint print gives the card a crisp look without altering how it performs at the table.
