Strategy
Arno Dorian is a nimble Assassin lord that rewards you for playing sneaky creatures and turning them face-up at opportune moments. The deck focuses on the Assassin tribe, leveraging Arno's power boost to turn your small killers into efficient threats with deathtouch. The disguise mechanic lets you hide your creatures and ambush opponents, creating tension and surprise damage. You'll be casting cheap Assassins, suiting them up with evasion or additional keywords, and swinging in for lethal before anyone sees it coming. With deathtouch on your threats and Arno's attack boost, even modest creatures become lethal blockers and board-control engines.
