“Blink and You’ll Miss It” is a Dimir assassination engine built around slipping Etrata through combat, erasing creatures from existence, and dodging her self-shuffle clause through flicker tricks, ninjutsu swaps, and clone effects. Unblockable operatives, shadowy infiltrators, and stealth equipment guarantee clean hits while cards like Crystal Shard, Ghostly Flicker, Sakashima’s Student, and Vesuvan Duplimancy keep the kill chain running long after Etrata should have vanished back into the library.

The deck plays like tempo-control with a supernatural espionage twist. Cheap interaction and countermagic protect the operation while evasive creatures generate steady card advantage through combat triggers and value engines. As the game progresses, clone effects and anti-tuck loops turn Etrata from a surgical threat into a repeating execution protocol capable of quietly removing players from the table entirely. Secondary threats like Vashta Nerada and Whirler Rogue provide resilient pressure when the table starts playing around the assassination plan, giving the deck multiple ways to close games without abandoning its sneaky Dimir identity.
