The value that players can get from it on top of the card advantage it gains over the opponent that gets hit in the face with it is just *chef's kiss.* This is also the only reprinted card in this set that makes it to our list of the most expensive Assassin's Creed MtG cards, so that once again demonstrates just how much value this card holds
