Overview

Legality, special rules, and flavor text

Rules

When this Equipment enters, create a 1/1 black Assassin creature token with menace, then attach this Equipment to it. Equipped creature gets +1/+0. Equip {2} ({2}: Attach to target creature you control. Equip only as a sorcery.)

Rulings

If the triggered ability causes two Assassins to be created (due to an effect such as that of Doubling Season), Headsplitter becomes attached to one of them. — No player may take any actions between the time you create the Assassin token and the time Headsplitter becomes attached to it. — The Assassin token that you create enters the battlefield as a 1/1 creature. Any abilities that trigger when a creature with a certain power enters the battlefield will see the token enter as a 1/1 creature. Static abilities that affect the Assassin's power and toughness may change this.
