Legendary Creature — Human Assassin
Whenever Arbaaz Mir or another nontoken historic permanent you control enters, Arbaaz Mir deals 1 damage to each opponent and you gain 1 life. (Artifacts, legendaries, and Sagas are historic.)
“Drain opponents with historic permanents; blink and recur for lethal.”
Arbaaz Mir is a efficient damage engine that rewards you for playing the deck's best cards—artifacts, legends, and Sagas. Every historic permanent that enters the battlefield triggers Arbaaz, draining all opponents while you gain life, turning your gameplan into a slow-burn clock that's hard to race. The strategy is to pack your deck with high-impact historic cards that generate value on entry, like mana rocks, legendary creatures, planeswalkers, and enchantment-based Sagas, so you're never just "passing and hoping."
You'll build toward critical mass where a single turn of casting multiple historic permanents or recurring them deals serious damage. Cards that blink, flicker, or reanimate historic permanents become all-stars, letting you stack triggers and close out games faster. The colors give you access to cheap artifacts and red's impulse draw alongside white's board protection and recursion—think combo-adjacent midrange that feels like you're executing a plan rather than grinding.
Win by dealing incremental damage through triggers while your historic creatures and artifacts establish board control. Once opponents are low enough, a single turn of multiple entries (or a blink loop) finishes the job.

Skip expensive legends and planeswalkers; lean into affordable artifacts like Wayfarer's Bauble, talismans, and free-to-cast historic creatures like Ornithopter and Vault Skirge to maximize triggers cheaply.
