Ratonhnhaké꞉ton
Legendary Creature — Human Assassin
As long as Ratonhnhaké꞉ton hasn't dealt damage yet, it has hexproof and can't be blocked.
Whenever Ratonhnhaké꞉ton deals combat damage to a player, create a 1/1 black Assassin creature token with menace. When you do, return target Equipment card from your graveyard to the battlefield, then attach it to that token.

Ratonhnhaké꞉ton hits the board as a 4/4 with flying and double strike — a genuine clock — and brings an Assassin's Creed token package that feeds directly into Ezio Auditore da Firenze's target-marking engine. The cost is a five-mana legendary that does nothing the turn it arrives, so it lives or dies by whether your deck can protect it.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Ezio Auditore da Firenze
Ezio Auditore da Firenze's ability rewards you for marking and eliminating targets, and Ratonhnhaké꞉ton's double strike means it reliably connects and closes those bounties in a single combat step — the two cards are designed around the same loop.
Arna Kennerüd, Skycaptain
Arna Kennerüd, Skycaptain copies auras and equipment onto attacking creatures, and Ratonhnhaké꞉ton's flying plus double strike makes it one of the most punishing recipients of that effect — a single Arna trigger on it ends games fast.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is where Ratonhnhaké꞉ton actually belongs — the Assassin tribal synergies and narrative flavor fit multiplayer, and the token generation scales with a longer game. In Legacy and Vintage it's legal but entirely off-meta; five mana for a creature with no immediate board impact doesn't survive contact with those formats' interaction density. Oathbreaker is a reasonable fringe home if you're running an Assassin-themed signature spell package. Standard and Pioneer aren't options.

Price Context
Current price
$0.35 bulk tier
At $0.35, Ratonhnhaké꞉ton is firmly bulk — easy to pick up without any financial hesitation. Bulk rares from licensed crossover sets tend to stay cheap unless a breakout combo emerges, and nothing on the horizon suggests this one spikes.
