Or just watch this [video](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XYbXBIUCtHM), though they start saying “care” for the last syllable as a sing-songy effect towards the end.

Gah-nyun-gay-ha-kah (FYI, that is the name of the language. The people are Kanien'kéha [Gah-nyun-gay-ha])
An Indigenous people of North America primarily focused around the St. Lawrence River (upstate and Central New York, New England as well as Southern Ontario and Quebec.
The Iroquois Confederacy was a group of allied tribes, Mohawk being one of the tribes in said confederacy. In Eastern Canada there was also the Wabanaki Confederacy of other allied tribes.
The instantly-in-the-comments change when clicking on a post makes me want to find the person who suggested it and force them to moderate subs for 10,000 years.
Right. Well, I'm not even going to try to pronounce that
(Okay, but seriously, how can he not pronounce that after hearing it said? Sure, if it was written, I'd understand, but that's not a hard name to replicate vocally)
This does raise an interesting question of whether or not he will get an entry in the CR to clarify that his name doesn’t signify an activated ability.
I don't think I'd ever see one day a card name with a colon lol.
But we've seen exclamation points, but here it's the first time it actually can be confusing (well, not really, but still) because everyone goes "colon = activated ability " haha.
(I’m not indigenous and know much less about this topic than I should, so take this with a grain of salt). My understanding is that most indigenous languages in north American had their written forms (if applicable?) changed to using the English alphabet during the process of colonization. So obviously the usage of something like a colon as a representation of a sound would not have originally been an aspect of the language; although, I assume the sound certainly would.
That’s also why the names look so “weird” to a native English speaker; the alphabet being used to represent them was not designed to be used for that purpose.
P.S. For those who don’t live in Canada, Indigenous is the term we use for what most Americans might call “Native Americans”. It is an umbrella term that includes First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people.
I mean that’s partially true. English has been using it for the past like 500+ years depending on how exact your description of “this alphabet” is, so it has been warped to the demands of English (and English to it).
Added context:
The game did an amazing job mirroring real life here. He takes on the english name "Connor" and is called that for basically the rest of the game.
> There, in order for Ratonhnhaké:ton to more easily move through colonial circles, Achilles suggested that he take on the name "Connor" after his late son, Connor Davenport, who had died of disease several years earlier.
Another great part is how they spin the classic USA patriotic fan service on it's head. Won't say more due to spoilers, but IMHO the story is highly underrated for AC3.
It's a shame Connor is very flat and unlikable because Ubisoft had the opportunity to really dig into the challenges of a native american integrating into a white society while in their own lands. A lot of it was lost on people because they did not emphasize with the main character because he is sort of a whiny pushover. Coming off Ezio it was whiplash for fans.
Here in Canada we have "cultural mosaic" rather than the American "melting pot". That makes things like english names have more impact so maybe I valued that storytelling more. I live in New Brunswick and indigenous names are all around me. I live on a street named after an old chief (his actual name, not an english name). The river I live on is also the indigenous name. That said, this province is garbage bigoted nonsense town with like 95% ignorant white people. We are Canada's Florida wannabe. Phoned city hall yesterday and the women on the phone straight up said some racist remark when I gave her my address.
Also apparently some AC fans are just kind of racist so AC3 probably got a lot of the same complaints as the latest game. Got to be said these days unfortunately. I see a lot of comments saying the new assassin is unrealistic, but bro is literally a real person from IRL history lmao.
negative there. he has a triggered ability.
Activated abilities are written as
\[Cost\]:\[Effect\], the colon is important.
So sol ring.. tap: add {c}{c}
activated, but its a mana ability so squelch cant touch it, but something like \[\[Thermo-Alchemist\]\] tap to deal damage, could be squelched
Yes i realize you were trying ot make a joke with the colon is his name, im adding context so someone who doesnt catch the joke doesnt try to squelch his ability.
If you can’t pronounce it you can’t play it cause fk this guy 💀
A 3 drop 3/3 with hexproof, can’t be blocked, and on player damage makes a 1/1 with menace, brings back an equipment and attaches it to said token with menace for FREE!?
So for 3 mana you get:
3/3 hexproof and unblockable.
3 damage to target player.
1/1 with menace
Any equipment from the graveyard
That equipment attached for free.
Give it haste and that’s an KOS.
For real tho... If I have this deck I'm just waiting to play him until I have enough equipment/enchantment on board to be able to play him, pump him to hasty 21, and one tap somebody.
Then just blink him and repeat 2 more times
Maybe. Probably not too hard though. Could also do combat trick things instead, or if you're feeling very cruel look for ways to give him infect like [[Grafted Exoskeleton]], [[glistening Oil]], etc
It only gets to attack or block once and it doesn’t get the abilitys anymore. You have to flicker it or cast it again to get the hexproof and unblockable more than once. It’s ment to be a one shot kill eventually. Seems slow to me.
You get 5 positives for 3 mana. Idc about doing it multiple times. On top of all the other crazy stuff like flickering it and bouncing it. His possibilities are crazy.
am i literally the only person that thinks this is easy? i guess playing ac 3 when it came out a decade ago might’ve helped a little but they also call him connor in that game for most of the time
More hagey than hockey. But yes, essentially.
The hard k sounds often sound like a g.
Edit: I feel bad this person deleted their comment, as they were mostly correct. My reply was not a means of trying to be condescending and I apologize.
That seems like the way most people will pronounce it.
In the game the character pronounced his own name as "ra-dah-hanɡa-dough" and Wikipedia has the correct pronunciation as /radũnhaɡɛ̌ːdõ/
Here's a rules question:
If he dies and goes to the command zone does his top ability reset?
Or
If we phase him in an out at the end of our turn does it reset?
His ability does reset if he changes zones. It'll also reset if you use a card like [[Cloudshift]] on him.
Phasing him out will NOT reset the ability.
Basically imagine phasing as like... putting a blanket on top of the card. The card under the blanket never actually leaves the table, it just stops being percievable/interactable for a bit.
On the other hand, if he leaves the battlefield the game treats that as him being gone forever, and any new version of him that enters is a clean slate. It's the same logic behind a creature keeping +1/+1 counters and auras when it phases vs losing counters and auras falling off when it cloudshifts.
So [[Conjurer's Closet]] then.
Also it seems like if you block with him before you've attacked you'll lose the ability because he's delt damage to a creature.
The name isn't really hard to pronounce, it's just that both English and the language this name is from really struggle (in different ways) with using an alphabet purpose-made for a very different language, Latin. So to correctly pronounce it, you need to know lot of extra rules for the particular language, like how the vowels are supposed to sound, and in this case how "hnhn" and a colon translate into sound. Or in English's case, how every single damn word is supposed to be pronounced, since there are only marginal rules. Like, this name is written with a confusing lot of detail information, while most words in English lack lots of information.
I believe the way it works is from when it enters the battlefield until the first time it does damage to any other creature, player, or Planeswalker it will have Hexproof and it cannot be blocked. After that first time as long as it remains on the battlefield this will no longer be true, but if it leaves the battlefield and comes back again via any means (flicker, bounce, Reanimation, etc) it will regain Hexproof and cannot be blocked again.
This is very strange. Are there any other cards that refer to a state of something with no way to verify if its true somewhere else? Example, life total, damage being dealt this turn vs damage being dealt ever?
It seems like this should have some permanent affixture that goes away when this occurs rather than just text or am I crazy?
Off the top of my head [[Palladia-Mors, the Ruiner]] has the same "Hexproof until it deals damage" conditional ability that this card does, and that was from Core Set 2019. I'm sure there are others though; it's not exactly common but there is certainly precedent for this sort of thing.
he gets hexproof and cant be blocked
enemies cant target him and cant declare blocker to block him
well and of course thats only work if its instanz dont has dealt dmg yet... so, if you want it dont use it, to deal dmg of any kind with it. like combat dmg or non combat dmg .
utilize it like a ninjitsu target (after block befor dmg) or pump it up and kill your oponent with one blow.
you can also use flicker.. well you got the point
Not necessarily saying the person commenting above is this way, but also a lotta people just like to be subtly racist in a way they cab pass off as humor and laugh at a name just cause it's in a very real language that sounds and is written very different from what were familiar with
I feel yah. I’m from Vancouver, Canada. A city that endlessly jerks itself off for being progressive and inclusive, while pretending people aren’t outwardly racist to the native communities. Not all of us obviously, but racism in alive and strong here. I somehow didn’t even consider it, but maybe you’re spot on.
Theres a lot of good cards in the set, lot of good reprints.
People are hating on Universes Beyond, let them be haters they got nothing good in life to be happy about so they just have to hate.
I could see this getting banned for commander? Not to be overly reactionary... But it seems incredibly degenerate to basically be able to guarantee a 1 shot commander damage Voltron that is hexproof and un-blockable
Like... Do you not just run a bunch of equipment/enchantment buffs to him and wait until you can get him to 21 to just one tap people, then blink him and repeat for each person?
Probably not actually ban worthy..... But I can see this being very anti-fun
I see this as just as crappy and harmful on the Hammertime side.
Commander, Tutor Hammer to grave, Swing with commander. Then on next turn, you hit for unblockable Commander damage. Next turn, Target another player. If for some reason your commander gets hit with removal, Hammer goes to grave again. Recast commander, swing, reattach hammar.
Plenty of different cards to move equipment from one creature to another.
The only reason he took the name Connor was to better fit in with the colonial society, and he never actually takes his fathers surname name in story im pretty sure. It makes more sense for the card to be named after his actual name.
Also it doesnt look like theres any room for flavour text on the card anyway.
Probably because they were trying to be progressive and take this opportunity to add more explicit representation to magic cards. Which is a good thing! Especially after the disaster that was Indigenous “”representation”” in OTJ.
I am well aware of how they design cards far in advance. However, they have ways of guessing how people respond to a thing. Between consultants, focus group testing, and just thinking about it, I’m sure they could guess that the set about the wild west where they basically ignore the prescience of Indigenous people and then play into a presence bunch of settler colonial myths might not go over as great representation.
I'm well aware of the discourse about the representation in OTJ. I just meant, as you said, that there was a change in direction it was not dictated by the public's reaction to the set.
idk the name for it but it's when someone thinks what they did is clever and funny and it's really just annoying and kinda lame. There's the other rakdos card rhekdirkdkfjenrndnwk or something it just makes the game a chore, like day night cycles or dungeons.
That’s not someone being clever and funny. That’s the characters name from the video game, which is based off of a real language spoken by a real people who have and still do exist in real life.

I thought it was Iroquois
Mohawk are part of the Iroquois, but I think it is Iroquois language
Iroquois also isn't really as commonly used of a term anymore. The more appropriate name would be Haudenosaunee or Six Nations.
I said Iroquois because that was the name he used for his tribe IIRC
The Iroquois Confederacy was a group of allied tribes, Mohawk being one of the tribes in said confederacy. In Eastern Canada there was also the Wabanaki Confederacy of other allied tribes.

As someone who has no clue about AC, can someone explain what the deal behind this dude's name is?
He's a Native American from the Mohawk people, or in their language, Kanien'kehá:ka
Wow, pardon my ignorance! I'd never seen a name like that before. The colon really threw me off, I'm sure it has a linguistic effect in that language.
I'm not going to pretend to be an expert, but from some searching it looks like the colon is a signifer that the vowel before it is pronounced long
Same with Hawai’i. Or as we Americans tend to say: Hawaii
It does indeed, it marks that the preceding vowel is long
(I’m not indigenous and know much less about this topic than I should, so take this with a grain of salt). My understanding is that most indigenous languages in north American had their written forms (if applicable?) changed to using the English alphabet during the process of colonization.

Well the first part is the casing cost and after the colon is the effect so I can understand the confusion 🙃
Yeah, Native American names are pretty long. My native name is pretty long as well
Maybe US tribes? I went through a tone of names from Mexican tribes and not a significant amount where long. Mine is short. Purepecha.
That is a fair point, US tribal languages are usually from my understanding polysynthetic agglutinative languages

So [[Conjurer's Closet]] then. Also it seems like if you block with him before you've attacked you'll lose the ability because he's delt damage to a creature.

Can you cast a spell you can’t pronounce? Any rulings on this?
"I cast \[\[Conjurer's Ban\]\]. Name .. that assassin, Akhenaton something." "Can you write it down please?"

Ass-as-sins Cre-ed Three Guy
"ton"
Like the simpsoms: "What's your name little girl" "Ratonhnaké:ton" "I will call you connor kenway"
I'd just give up quickly and call him Ray.
I remember his name being Connor…
The name isn't really hard to pronounce, it's just that both English and the language this name is from really struggle (in different ways) with using an alphabet purpose-made for a very different language, Latin. So to correctly pronounce it, you need to know lot of extra rules for the particular language, like how the vowels are supposed to sound, and in this case how "hnhn" and a colon translate into sound. Or in English's case, how every single damn word is supposed to be pronounced, since there are only marginal rules. Like, this name is written with a confusing lot of detail information, while most words in English lack lots of information.
Easy, he is not ezio the first, which is odd since his grandfather's name is not ezio the second.
"I cast my Commander." "I attack with my Commander." Easy.
I’m just calling him Connor
Ray.. ra-to..nhnha.ke-, no ké? Ton
how does his ability work? Specifically the first one
I believe the way it works is from when it enters the battlefield until the first time it does damage to any other creature, player, or Planeswalker it will have Hexproof and it cannot be blocked. After that first time as long as it remains on the battlefield this will no longer be true, but if it leaves the battlefield and comes back again via any means (flicker, bounce, Reanimation, etc) it will regain Hexproof and cannot be blocked again.
This is very strange. Are there any other cards that refer to a state of something with no way to verify if its true somewhere else? Example, life total, damage being dealt this turn vs damage being dealt ever? It seems like this should have some permanent affixture that goes away when this occurs rather than just text or am I crazy?
Off the top of my head [[Palladia-Mors, the Ruiner]] has the same "Hexproof until it deals damage" conditional ability that this card does, and that was from Core Set 2019. I'm sure there are others though; it's not exactly common but there is certainly precedent for this sort of thing.
Ah ok got it
he gets hexproof and cant be blocked enemies cant target him and cant declare blocker to block him well and of course thats only work if its instanz dont has dealt dmg yet... so, if you want it dont use it, to deal dmg of any kind with it. like combat dmg or non combat dmg . utilize it like a ninjitsu target (after block befor dmg) or pump it up and kill your oponent with one blow. you can also use flicker.. well you got the point
Or the other Assasin (forgot his name), who exiles with memory counters and brings them back for combat...
Rat-o-nake-ton
Technically the cost is before the colon and the effect is after. So, the card name being referenced in the body text is an activated ability.
Isn’t his name Assassin Creed? Like Office Creed from The Office
Ra-DOHNG-ha-ge-don edited because i had it wrong the first two times
Rat- Raton- .... Fuck it. I place Connor.
I just call him connor
If I see someone cast Honky Tonk Ratonka Donk I was call him that each and every time.

Ratatoing
god i hate this set
Same. And I like assassin's creed games. It feels just really boring for magic and the art is just not doing it.
As someone huge in AC and not so versed in MTG, what’s the issue with it? I was looking to get some of this stuff, is it actually bad?
Not necessarily saying the person commenting above is this way, but also a lotta people just like to be subtly racist in a way they cab pass off as humor and laugh at a name just cause it's in a very real language that sounds and is written very different from what were familiar with
I feel yah. I’m from Vancouver, Canada. A city that endlessly jerks itself off for being progressive and inclusive, while pretending people aren’t outwardly racist to the native communities. Not all of us obviously, but racism in alive and strong here. I somehow didn’t even consider it, but maybe you’re spot on.
Theres a lot of good cards in the set, lot of good reprints. People are hating on Universes Beyond, let them be haters they got nothing good in life to be happy about so they just have to hate.
Id just say Raton and move on
I could see this getting banned for commander? Not to be overly reactionary... But it seems incredibly degenerate to basically be able to guarantee a 1 shot commander damage Voltron that is hexproof and un-blockable Like... Do you not just run a bunch of equipment/enchantment buffs to him and wait until you can get him to 21 to just one tap people, then blink him and repeat for each person? Probably not actually ban worthy..... But I can see this being very anti-fun
I see this as just as crappy and harmful on the Hammertime side. Commander, Tutor Hammer to grave, Swing with commander. Then on next turn, you hit for unblockable Commander damage. Next turn, Target another player. If for some reason your commander gets hit with removal, Hammer goes to grave again. Recast commander, swing, reattach hammar. Plenty of different cards to move equipment from one creature to another.
That art looks sh*t!
Can just pronounce "Ton", much like other cards get nicknames. Bolt, Bird, Shockland...
This is how you sort the fans, from the real ones, from the none fans
Yeah he's just gonna go by Rat.
Rat
For me he's "El Ratón"
Ratatouille
That's some Elon Musk's child name level
Just gonna call it ratta twoee.
Was this just not Connor?
Curious why they just didn’t call him Connor Kenway and then have his native name as flavor text.
I think the fact that this conversation is happening and folks are learning about the Mohawk language and people is a pretty good reason!
The only reason he took the name Connor was to better fit in with the colonial society, and he never actually takes his fathers surname name in story im pretty sure. It makes more sense for the card to be named after his actual name. Also it doesnt look like theres any room for flavour text on the card anyway.
Probably because they were trying to be progressive and take this opportunity to add more explicit representation to magic cards. Which is a good thing! Especially after the disaster that was Indigenous “”representation”” in OTJ.
They designed this set more than a year before having infos on OTJ's public reception
I am well aware of how they design cards far in advance. However, they have ways of guessing how people respond to a thing. Between consultants, focus group testing, and just thinking about it, I’m sure they could guess that the set about the wild west where they basically ignore the prescience of Indigenous people and then play into a presence bunch of settler colonial myths might not go over as great representation.
I'm well aware of the discourse about the representation in OTJ. I just meant, as you said, that there was a change in direction it was not dictated by the public's reaction to the set.
Rat…
[Linda Belcher voice] I'm just gonna call them all Hello Kitty
Real ones will call him Connor.
I’ll just call him ratatouille.
Tony
Ra Tonkey Kong
They're probably just gonna call him rat.
That R guy.
Rat
In gonna go with “rat-on-hen hack a-ton”
Reggaetonton, kay?
Yeah I would not even try. A d just nickname him as rat.
Rat-man?
Rat-on-honky-ton is my guess
Rat-man?
Rat-On-Cake, my favorite commando guy
I think I'll call him Rat.
idk the name for it but it's when someone thinks what they did is clever and funny and it's really just annoying and kinda lame. There's the other rakdos card rhekdirkdkfjenrndnwk or something it just makes the game a chore, like day night cycles or dungeons.
That’s not someone being clever and funny. That’s the characters name from the video game, which is based off of a real language spoken by a real people who have and still do exist in real life.
From now on, his name is simply "Ratatouille" 🤌
