Ramses, Assassin Lord

The third ability is the whole reason to build around this creature, and it hinges on a phrase that is easy to misread: it triggers when a player "loses the game" while "having been attacked this turn by an Assassin you controlled." The word that matters is attacked, not damaged. All the attacking Assassin has to do is get declared as an attacker against that player. It can be blocked, it can die in combat, it can be a 1/1 that never touches anything: the flag is set the moment attackers are declared. From there, any exit hands you the win. If that player decks out, gets hit by a Phage-style loss trigger, sacrifices themselves out of the game, or simply dies to unrelated combat or burn later that turn, you win instead. That turns declaring attackers into a setup step for an alternate victory, and it means the win can land through causes that have nothing to do with your board's actual damage output. The +1/+1 anthem is the support beam: it lets a wide plate of small Assassin tokens function as a real clock while every one of them arms the alternate kill just by swinging. As a payoff for a creature type that had been scattered across sets for years without a reason to be built as a tribe, this is the piece that gives Assassins a purpose: a lord that grows the team and rewrites what it means to send them into the red zone.
