Color breaking assassination deck that centers on off color disruption spells like Mana Tithe and one shot assassin strategies to take out the opponents permanents. Lands, artifacts, enchantments, creatures, nothing is safe from getting the knife. I'm looking to make a fun and threatening deck while still letting people play the game. Counterspells are for combo specific removal, so should be kept close to the chest until absolutely needed. I'm looking for a more proactive deck that has a similar feel to my ninja themed deck Agents of Darkness.

The deck still needs a lot of testing, and I'm sure will struggle against decks that have no creatures. So far it draws decently, and with a few recursion engines and the ability to snatch the opponents creatures it should be fairly versatile. The counterspells will be good to keep people guessing, and duplicating spells is always handy. Seems weak to planeswalkers, but there are some removal spells and a bit of searching so I'm hoping that makes up for it. Hex Parasite will always work in a pinch.
