Legendary Creature — Human Assassin
Double strike During your turn, other historic creatures you control have double strike. Disguise {1}{R}{W} (You may cast this card face down for {3} as a 2/2 creature with ward {2}. Turn it face up any time for its disguise cost.)
“Double-strike historic lord that turns your legendary creatures into evasive finishers.”
Bayek of Siwa is a historic lord that turns your army into a double-strike powerhouse. Your core gameplan revolves around loading the board with historic creatures—Artifacts, Legends, and Sagas—then swinging in for massive damage while Bayek amplifies them all. The disguise mechanic gives you flexibility: cast Bayek face-down early as a cheap blocker, then flip it when you're ready to pivot into offense. With double strike active, even modest creatures become serious threats, and any evasion or pump effects become backbreaking.
Your win condition is straightforward: combat damage. Build around legendary creatures and artifacts that synergize with aggressive strategies or generate value when they connect. Cards like Embercleave and equipment make your creatures even more dangerous, while token generators (like Siege Token from Siege Rhino effects) let you go wider. The deck leans aggro-to-midrange: you're not trying to combo off, just overwhelm the table with a buffed swarm before they stabilize.

Skip pricey legendary creatures and use cheaper historic creatures (Goblin Engineer, Swordbind Centaur) and artifact tokens instead; swap Embercleave for Greatsword of Twidemere.
