Chain Assassination is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
Freerunning(You may cast this spell for its freerunning cost if you dealt combat damage to a player this turn with an Assassin or commander.) Destroy target creature. If another creature died this turn, draw a card.
How it works : Chain Assassination
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
If the target creature is an illegal target by the time Chain Assassination tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won’t draw a card even if another creature has died this turn.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If the target creature is a legal target but isn’t destroyed, most likely because it has indestructible, you’ll still draw a card if another creature died this turn.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
Once an Assassin creature or commander you control deals combat damage to a player in a turn, you can cast spells for their freerunning costs for the rest of that turn. It doesn’t matter what happens to that Assassin or commander after that.
No other card is named in this ruling.
