Courtesy of Wizards of the Coast (WotC), check out our exclusive free preview from Magic: The Gathering – Assassin’s Creed – Aya of Alexandria!
Hailing from Assassin’s Creed Origins, Aya of Alexandria was Cleopatra’s right-hand woman and co-founder of the Hidden Ones. Her Magic form imagines the Human Assassin as a four-mana 4/3 with menace, lifelink, and “Whenever a historic creature you control deals combat damage to a player, create a 1/1 black Assassin creature token with menace.”
Being a legendary creature, Aya of Alexandria can be your commander, or slot nicely into a historic-matters strategy that aims to get aggressive with historic creatures in order to trigger Aya’s abilitiy and make an army of Assassins.
So what do you think of Aya of Alexandria? While previews for this set are just getting started, we’ve already seen several cards that could pair well with her. Let us know how you plan to utilize this Boros legendary!
Magic: The Gathering – Assassin’s Creed is scheduled to release on July 5, 2024. View our official preview gallery.
