Horobi, Death's Wail

Horobi, Death's Wail turns your opponents' own targeting spells and abilities into removal. The core gameplan is deceptively straightforward: play Horobi, then watch as any creature your opponents try to buff, protect, or even draw cards with becomes a target and dies instantly. Your own creatures can be protected by giving them hexproof or shroud, or you can lean into sacrifice synergies where creatures dying to Horobi's ability actually benefit you.

You'll want cheap targeting effects of your own—cards that make creatures block or force combat, pump spells that target your own creatures, and effects that grant hexproof or shroud to your side. The deck plays like a control deck with an asymmetrical advantage: you're the only one who can safely use targeting effects. Your win condition is typically just swinging with Horobi and a handful of evasive creatures, while your opponents' own spells do the heavy lifting in destroying their blockers.
