ezio auditore da firenze mtg card Magic The Gathering - Universes Beyond - Assassin's Creed that player loses the game MTG EDH Commander Ezio Auditore

While I mostly focused on more illustrative or Limited gameplay examples here, know that these same skills translate directly into Constructed

Other cards in the drop were Esika, God of the Tree & The Prismatic Bridge, Archangel Avacyn & Avacyn, the Purifier, Bloodline Keeper & Lord of Lineage, and Westvale Abbey & Ormendahl, Profane Prince

His ultimate, which isnt usually relevant, lets you swap cards with your opponent

That's why they are a spot better

Compare this to commonly played three mana removal spells like Generous Gift - that leaves behind much bigger 3/3 but can smoke lands too (Ditto Beast Within)

Cards have to be evaluated on their own merit in Limited, so synergy-based cards are less valuable than in Constructed
