Story
The rogue duelist Kaya travels between planes making a living as a ghost assassin for a fee. Her skills attracted the attention of Bolas, who promised to help her troubled family if she were to kill the Obzedat, the undying ghost leaders of the Orzhov—which she was easily able to do, along with her new ally, Teysa Karlov, amid the growing turmoil on Ravnica.
