Bohn, Beguiling Balladeer
Legendary Creature — Human Bard
Each nonland card in your hand without foretell has foretell. Its foretell cost is equal to its mana cost reduced by {2}. (During your turn, you may pay {2} and exile it from your hand face down. Cast it on a later turn for its foretell cost.) Whenever you cast your second spell each turn, goad target creature an opponent controls.

Strategy
Bohn turns your hand into a resource engine by giving every nonland card a discount foretell ability, essentially letting you cast spells two mana cheaper by exiling them first. This creates a tempo advantage—you're effectively ramping while smoothing your draws and filling the graveyard. Pair this with the goad trigger on your second spell each turn, and you're disrupting opponents' combat strategies while advancing your own game plan.
The deck wants to abuse this foretell discount repeatedly, playing multiple spells per turn and abusing the goad trigger to stall threats and clear the way for your own attacks. Include cards with multiple modes, cantrips, and cheap interaction to reliably trigger the second spell clause. You'll be pressuring multiple angles at once: dealing damage through evasion, creating board pressure, and punishing opponents for leaving creatures untapped.
Wins through a combination of commander damage and general combat pressure once the board is softened by goad effects and your tempo advantage. The deck thrives in mid-power tables where disruption and tempo matter.
