Ochran Assassin1BG Creature — Elf Assassin {UC}
Deathtouch
All creatures able to block Ochran Assassin do so. "The dagger is just the distraction. I carry the real killer in a vial at my side."
1/1
Either with combat tricks, or just with Mentor triggers to pump it.
It will not only kill everything, but guarantees a full-attack, which is all crazy good.
Just gets stronger in 2HG for some PreRelease action.
The problem with the card is, that all that makes it "cool" is also insanely annoying to play against, as you REALLY need removal against it asap or at least a form of first strike, otherwise its a world of hurt and misery that does not really allow enough room to play "smart" around (hey, you can attack with everything you dont want to die as blockers, maybe this will work out less of an issue, but it still feel terrible already playing against these cards).
You must block both if you have more than 1 creature to satisfy the most requirements.
Uhm, that's not true, unless rulings have flipped since the last time I saw this ruled.
Each potential blocker has two blocking requirements. But (barring some multi-block ability), each one can only block one creature. Each one can choose whichever one they want to (each one, unable to fulfil both of its requirements, must fulfil one), and this can result in them all blocking the same one and leaving the other one unblocked.
What if you have two of them and they both attack? I presume that each creature must block at least one of them.

I don't have a problem with various guilds getting assassins but why do Golgari seemingly get the best of everything? Best Removal and Best Assassin.
Dimir got Mission Breifing, Price of Fame, Doom Whiserer, Thoughtbound phantasm, darkblade agent, and Lazav spoiled today. I don’t feel too bad for Dimir players.

Am I wrong for wishing this was common and Pauper legal?

Dimir is suppose to be the assasin Guild with weak creatures but useful abilities and sneaky attacks.
Golgari is getting better small unique creatures and fat creatures...

Also because guild dynamics have obviously shifted in this block.
This is the same as Selesnya making soldiers. The guilds are edging towards warring against each other. There's a lot of violence happening.

That's the standing ruling on Prized Unicorn.

I remember trying everything back in the day to do this with Taunting Elf.
Ask Vraska... she's been in the Golgari Assassin business for awhile.
Lore wise I think Black's slice on Ravnica is anything shady and underworldish. Which explains why various factions get assassins.

Either you waste your removal on my 1/1 or all of your creatures are in danger. Seems hilarious
