Ezio Auditore da Firenze

Ezio is a sneaky, evasive commander that rewards you for dealing combat damage and then cashing in with cheaper assassin spells. Your core gameplan is to get Ezio in the red zone early and often—menace helps him slip through—then abuse the freerunning mechanic to cast assassins at a steep discount once you've connected. The deck wants low-cost creatures and removal spells with the Assassin creature type, plus any other assassins you can find, so you can chain them together for a lethal tempo advantage.

The real payoff is Ezio's second ability: once an opponent drops to 10 life, you can instantly end the game for just five mana of any color. This means the deck is hunting for a specific window—dealing 10 damage first, then untapping with access to WUBRG. You don't need to kill all three opponents this way, just set up one player on a clock while protecting Ezio and yourself. Think of it as a aggressive midrange deck with a secret combo finish baked in.

Build around cheap assassin creatures, evasion effects like Double Strike or extra combat steps to trigger freerunning repeatedly, and ramp into that five-color finale. Tutors and card draw keep the pressure high and your options open. You're fast enough to close games before opponents stabilize, but flexible enough to grind if you need to.
