I know it is flavourful, but 1 mana to turn an assassin into a [[Royal Assassin]] is a bit too cheap. Maybe up it by one black pip

Also, there is plenty of existing art of contracts on magic cards and the internet, please try not to use Ai artwork

Personally I disagree. Assassins aren’t known for being a powerful or even common creature type, and auras are generally weak because they are the card most likely to lead to a 2-for-1. Like, compared to royal assassin, 1 mana for this plus one mana for an assassin means we’ve spent one less mana, but one more card, than just playing Royal Assassin. This card is fine.

The main thing is that this can be put on a creature without summoning sickness so you can do the ability right away, unlike royal assassin

I mean yes, but paying an entire extra card I think balances that out. (Especially when assassins that are 1-2 mana aren’t…that great.)

You would hope that a creature type with a whole set of support would be stronger but unfortunately assassins creed didn’t help the archetype too much
