Rulings

2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2004-10-04

    If the creature is no longer tapped when the Assassin's ability resolves, then the ability doesn't resolve.

  • 2004-10-04

    Can't target itself because you choose the target before you tap him. At that time he is not yet a legal target.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

29 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly. A printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Royal Assassin. It runs a name search across every version, which covers the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only. No individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
