🗡 Ramses, Assassin Lord – Death by Design

Colors: Dimir (Blue/Black)

Theme: Assassins / Saboteurs / Evasion

Style: Control, precision strikes, sneaky finishes

🎯 Gameplan

Build a board of elusive and deathtouching Assassins. Use Ramses to convert every targeted kill into a player elimination. The game quickly turns into "Whose turn is it to die?"

Support Ramses with evasion spells like Slip Through Space and Aqueous Form to help assassins sneak through. Use targeted removal like Go for the Throat or Murder to trigger Ramses’s instant kills.
