Assassin

Assassin is a creature class. The first creature to bear the type was the <c>Royal Assassin</c> in Alpha. 
==Description==
Assassins specialize in one thing: killing. Assassins are amoral in the extreme, ending the lives of others for money or the thrill of killing. 
Assassins sometimes have abilities that let them directly destroy other creatures, but for the lower-rarity versions, deathtouch is usually sufficient representation. The majority of assassins are black, with three of the remaining (two red and one blue) being color pie bends, having creature-destruction abilities not regularly in pie. Two other recent monored Assassins have been printed since, but their typing justification is more tenuous. The sole green Assassin is a deathtouch Kraul in the cult of the assassin queen Vraska. 
===History===
After Alpha the Assassin creature type wouldn't be printed on another card for three years, <c>Suq'Ata Assassin</c> in Visions. Note that there were a handful of cards between the two that would retroactively become Assassins, making <c>Ramses Overdark</c> from Legends the first Legendary Assassin. From that point forward, the Assassin creature type started seeing more use, although seldom more than once or twice per set.
For Outlaws of Thunder Junction Assassins were batched as Outlaws.
The Universes Beyond set Assassin's Creed had a focus on the Assassins creature type, with 35 of the 58 creatures in the set being assassins.
