Legendary Creature — Beholder
Whenever you attack a player, tap target creature that player controls and goad it. (Until your next turn, that creature attacks each combat if able and attacks a player other than you if able.) Whenever an opponent attacks another one of your opponents, you and the attacking player each draw a card and lose 1 life.
“Political chaos tyrant that profits when opponents fight each other.”
Karazikar is all about turning the political chaos of multiplayer against itself. Your commander goads creatures whenever you attack, forcing opponents' blockers into the red while you stay safe. But the real magic is that second ability—whenever any opponent hits another opponent, you both draw cards and take a hit. This means you're incentivizing the table to fight each other while you gain card advantage and slowly drain life totals. You're not the aggressor; you're the chaos agent who profits from everyone else's war.
Build this deck around forcing combat and keeping pressure on multiple angles. Pack efficient attackers and ways to goad creatures without combat—cards like Goblin Diplomats and Sudden Spoiling turn every turn into a political minefield. Lifegain and sacrifice outlets let you weather the chip damage from your own ability, turning it into a feature rather than a bug. Your win condition is grinding out value until the table is exhausted, then finishing with commander damage or a pile of tokens from all that card draw.

Skip expensive tutors; use efficient goad effects like Goblin Diplomats and Ankh of Mishra instead of pricey rocks, and lean on creature-based value rather than planeswalkers.
