So we were post the other day of ways to tap a creature then destroy it that are standard legal. The common combo is {gideon's lawkeeper} and {royal assassin} the problem for me is i dont use white. Alas i have found another. I will be using {frost titan} to pull this combo off. Which is perfect since im using u/b i just aquired my first frosty on a order mix up. Got that instead of a final {grave titan} now i am happy about the fowl up. Thoughts??
I had a deck based around that tap remove u/b it should be in casual as assassin

The main issue I see is the fact that both parts of your combo are creatures, and {royal assassin} is a puny one at that. I'm sure you already do, but I would run a few counter magic cards like {mana leak} or {turn aside} to protect the little guy, since {asceticism} in neither u nor b. always gotta be one step ahead. Plus control using counter magic is always great if you don't have your combo running.
Run {mask of avacyn} it will help protect him and tr titan from red removal and other spells like {unsummon}, {vapor snag} and {grasp of phantasms}. You'd want more creatures to protect from {tribute to hunger} also another fun card for a deck like this could be {evil twin}

Its crazy that after all this time, {royal assassin} is still type 2, standard. Some one post an infinite combo with him! I know it's out there!
Did someone say INFINITE COMBO?!?!?!?
{Royal Assassin} + {Loxodon Gatekeeper} + {Thornbite Staff}
Okay, not really infinite, but it can kill an inifite number of creatures your opponents put into play.
Edit: I'll come up with something better when I'm not busy.
Did we just talk about {Frost Breath}?
Infinite Combo:
{Grave Titan} + {Grave Pact} + {Grimgrin, Corpse-Born}
Not really, but locks your opponent out.
