A-Dokuchi Silencer

Creature — Human Ninja1 generic manaBlack mana

Ninjutsu is a body-swap trick, and this is the ninja that turns the swap into removal you cannot easily see coming. The window it exploits is the block step: an unblocked attacker becomes the trigger for bouncing a smaller threat and dropping this in tapped and attacking, so the removal fires the instant it connects. The discard clause is the friction that pays for a repeatable kill: each destroyed creature or planeswalker costs a card from hand, which turns a resource other black removal spends up front into something metered across combats. That structure rewards a deck stocked with graveyard payoffs and cheap fuel, because the "cost" of discarding is often no cost at all. What separates it from a standard Doom Blade on a stick is the layer of information warfare ninjutsu creates: the defender commits blocks against whatever attacked, then discovers the board they blocked is not the board resolving damage. A 2/1 that dies to any blocker is fragile on its own, but ninjutsu means it rarely has to survive combat honestly; it materializes after blocks are declared, connects, and hands you a body plus a dead threat. The Alchemy rebalance (the A- prefix) tightens the numbers for a digital environment, but the design idea is intact: unblockability converted into recurring, tempo-positive assassination.
