Chain Assassination

{2}{B}{B}Instant

Freerunning {1}{B} (You may cast this spell for its freerunning cost if you dealt combat damage to a player this turn with an Assassin or commander.)

Destroy target creature. If another creature died this turn, draw a card.

Official rulings

  1. Once an Assassin creature or commander you control deals combat damage to a player in a turn, you can cast spells for their freerunning costs for the rest of that turn. It doesn’t matter what happens to that Assassin or commander after that. (2024-07-05)
  2. If the target creature is a legal target but isn’t destroyed, most likely because it has indestructible, you’ll still draw a card if another creature died this turn. (2024-07-05)
  3. If the target creature is an illegal target by the time Chain Assassination tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won’t draw a card even if another creature has died this turn. (2024-07-05)
