Destroy target permanent an opponent controls. Its controller may search their library for a basic land card, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle.

Where it came from
Assassin's Trophy was first introduced in the 2018 set Guilds of Ravnica, designed by Wizards of the Coast to be a flexible, high-utility removal spell within the Golgari color identity. The card quickly became a staple in eternal formats like Modern, Legacy, and Commander due to its ability to destroy any permanent type, balanced by the concession of allowing the opponent to search for a basic land. It was later reprinted in the 2024 set Murders at Karlov Manor as part of the 'Special Guests' subset, featuring new art that fits the set's murder-mystery aesthetic.
The art for this specific printing was created by artist Kevin Tong, who adopted a stylized, high-contrast approach to depict the act of targeted elimination central to the card's theme. By moving away from the traditional, grittier illustration styles often associated with the Golgari guild, Tong's contribution emphasizes the elegance and finality of the assassin's craft. The card remains a quintessential example of efficient 'catch-all' interaction in Magic: The Gathering, favored by players who value versatility over pure resource efficiency.
