🖋️ Curator's Notes
T: Destroy target tapped creature.

"Trained in the arts of stealth, royal assassins choose their victims carefully, relying on timing and precision rather than brute force."

⚖️

Official Judge Precedents

2 Precedents

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

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