Where it came from
Black Market Connections was released in 2024 as part of the Magic: The Gathering Universes Beyond: Assassin's Creed set. This collection was designed to integrate the iconic stealth and historical fiction elements of the Assassin's Creed franchise into the mechanics of the card game, allowing players to utilize themes of underground trade and recruitment familiar to the series' narrative.
The card features artwork that evokes the clandestine atmosphere of the games, emphasizing the resource-gathering nature of the black market. It was developed by Wizards of the Coast in collaboration with Ubisoft, aiming to balance the aesthetics of Renaissance-era urban environments with the functional gameplay requirements of the set's expansion, receiving attention for its utility in strategic card drafting.
