By this point I can hear you think "but... those are two old cards while you promised it had something to do with MH3." We're getting there, but you're right. This is not a new combo and Flagstones already saw some constructed play here and there.

But there's obviously still a chance that it's reprinted in the Assassin's Creed set itself.
There is, however, a chance that this card may not live up to the hype. These alternative win-cons may not be very popular in (casual) commander pods. Depending on your playgroup it may not be really accepted to get rid of one player and then win the entire game, so whenever you play a card like this, make sure you have had the rule 0 talk!
