About Nirkana Assassin

Nirkana Assassin, Creature — vampire assassin ally, designed by Viktor Titov first released in May, 2020 in the set Battle for Zendikar and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.67.

The Nirkana Assassin would be a great addition to a black-based lifegain deck in Magic: the Gathering, as it can gain deathtouch whenever you gain life, making it a potent threat for blocking or attacking. However, there are potentially better cards for this type of deck, such as Vampire Nighthawk, which has flying, deathtouch, and lifelink for just one more mana. While Nirkana Assassin could see play in a specific lifegain strategy, it may not be the most efficient option compared to other available cards.

Rules

08/25/15

In a Two-Headed Giant game, life gained by your teammate won’t cause the ability to trigger, even though it causes your team’s life total to increase.

08/25/15

The ability triggers just once for each life-gaining event, whether it’s 1 life from Drana’s Emissary or 7 life from Nissa’s Renewal.
