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 0.21.

A deck focused on lifegain strategies, such as Orzhov or Lifelink-themed decks, would benefit from including Nirkana Assassin as it can gain deathtouch when you gain life, making it a potent threat. While there may be other cards with similar effects like Vampire Nighthawk, Nirkana Assassin's ability to surprise opponents with deathtouch can make it a valuable addition to decks looking to control the board and pressure opponents. Overall, Nirkana Assassin could see play in decks that prioritize lifegain and creature removal.

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.
