Chain Assassination vs Deadly Embrace — MTG Card Comparison
Chain Assassination is the stronger card — it costs less mana (4 vs 5), is an instant (can respond at any time). Consider Deadly Embrace if you value wider format availability.
Chain Assassination
Freerunning {1}{B} (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.
*"Who needs stealth when there's no one left to raise the alarm?"
—Jacob Frye*
Deadly Embrace
Destroy target creature an opponent controls. Then draw a card for each creature that died this turn.
*"Come, little lamb... to the slaughter with you!"*
