Assassin's Creed Crossover Revives Prowl Mechanic as Freerunning

Way back in 2008, the Morningtide set introduced a mechanic called Prowl. It let you play cards with the creature type Rogue for less mana if you’d damaged another player (rather than their creatures) earlier that turn. The Assassin’s Creed crossover brings Prowl back, only renamed Freerunning and with its reduced cost applied to the Assassin creature type instead. That means if I can sneak even a single point of damage past an opponents’ defenses, I can bring down a whole gang of bargain bonus Brotherhood buddies immediately after.

I do this by playing the Hookblade Veteran, who has a zipline that means he counts as flying on my turn and can bypass most defenses. One of my opponents does have something that can block flying attackers—a Towering Viewpoint, which has the flight-blocking keyword Reach—so first I make sure to take that out with a Poison-Blade Mentor. How do I poison a tower to death? Must be Animus magic. Like that one Assassin’s Creed Origins DLC where you visit the literal afterlife, it’s best not to question these things.

Magic: The Gathering's Videogame Ventures

Fallout set’s Commander decks were a personal favorite, the Assassin’s Creed cards are still fun to try out and, in the Ezio deck, tightly themed around murdering people from rooftops—which is all I want. It’s left me feeling hopeful for the upcoming Final Fantasy crossover, since the official Final Fantasy card game is a bit of a dud.

So far, Magic’s dips into videogame territory have worn the clothes of their new settings well enough to blend in seamlessly. Given the choice between these and the endless licensed CCGs of the late ’90s that used to rip off Magic without being nearly as good, I’d rather have more of these professionally designed and slickly produced official crossovers.

Assassin’s Creed x Magic: The Gathering is available now.

When will assassin's creed mirage come out?

"Assassin's Creed Mirage" is set to release on October 5, 2023. Developed by Ubisoft, this installment promises to take players to 9th century Baghdad, offering a fresh experience steeped in rich historical context, much like previous entries in the beloved Assassin's Creed series.

Assassin's creed valhalla vs odyssey which is better?

Choosing between "Assassin's Creed Valhalla" and "Assassin's Creed Odyssey" largely depends on player preference. "Valhalla" offers a Viking era setting with improved combat mechanics, settlement building, and a tighter narrative. Conversely, "Odyssey" provides a vast Ancient Greek world with more RPG elements, branching storylines, and multiple endings. Both games have their strengths, so the better game hinges on whether one prefers Viking lore or the expansive Greek mythology and RPG mechanics.
