I love this combo. When you get a Assassin a Qween and a Imp out you
can do the combo. On his turn use the Imp to make one of his creatures
attack then use the Qween to make it 0/2. It attacks and dose no dammage
to you then on your turn destroy it with the Assassin.

Why wait until your turn to use the Royal?? Its a fast effect!! Just do the big
power play... You don't even need to use the Queen... Just kill that damn thing
before it ever comes across the lines

Queen is not needed at this time. Assassin will kill during opponent's
turn just as easily as yours. Queen is good if you have a: no assassin,
b: a sengir vampire you want to feed...

Oh, and...well...I would be careful before posting a "PLEASE READ" with
800 exclamation points...as it turns out, this is a rather commonly
known combination, and people are likely to flame you muchly for
this...even if you weren't from AOL...

However if you really LIKE the Queen and have no assassin (my
condolences) try the three card Imp-Queen-Black Knight combo.
Or listen to the man above and get a Sengir out.....

Didn't you know that you don't need to make it 0/2?
The assasin's effect is a fast effect, therefore you can kill a creature
when it attacks yet before it deals damage.
Makes a nasty two card combo.

If you've got a royal assassin, you can slay his creature without
it dealing any damage anyway, so the sorceress queen
is useless, furthermore, you can kill it on his turn.

An even better combo which I can only half do is to Icy the creature
then Assassin it. Need the Icy though in my case....

Why not just use your assassin during his turn? That way it
untaps and you can use it again on your turn, or his, if necessary.
Also, the Sorceress Queen is a fantastic card but unnecessary here- just
use your Royal to hose his whatever he has. Plus, you can use the Queen
as a substitute blocker- instead of physically blocking your opponent's
creature, have it tap to turn the attacker into a big Will-o-the-Wisp,
effectively.

The sorceress Queesn is not really needed INHO. just kill the attacking
creature when it attacks with the RA. I have been sucessfull in taking
out these threats from this combo with my own nettling imps, Norrrits,
Tims and Rod of Ruins. I always am willing to sacrifice a Tim for a RA.
Tim the little bugger RA, boom gone. They will most likely take out your
Tim with the RA on the way out (I could be wrong abotu the legality of
that). Poke the RA with the Rod of Ruin, or put an essence flair on it
and wait. One fellow had no less than three castles out and laffed at my
essence flair on his RA. But wait I said, you tap him and he is
Finished. So I Nettled or Noritted it, cant remember wich. Damn essence
flair is a great card for stale mates. Very cheap time bomb on a
creature. So what if he gets +2, the card gets real vulnerable real fast.
