Legendary Creature — Ogre Warrior
Whenever a creature an opponent controls attacks, if you're the defending player, create a 3/3 red Ogre creature token unless that creature's controller pays {3}.
“Turn opponent attacks into 3/3 Ogre tokens and overwhelm them.”
Kazuul turns your opponents' aggression into your army. Every time someone attacks you, you're either getting paid {3} or creating a 3/3 Ogre token—and most opponents won't want to pay the tax repeatedly. Your gameplan is to sit back, generate tokens from incoming attacks, then swing in with your growing force of Ogres for lethal. You're not trying to be the table's aggressor; instead, you're punishing the players who are, turning their combat steps into your token generation engine. The more aggressive the table is, the faster you snowball.
To maximize this, you want cards that either encourage opponents to attack (like Howling Mine effects or group slug), protect you so you survive to block, or amplify your token generation. You can also add anthem effects and sacrifice outlets to turn your army into card advantage or direct damage. This is a classic "punisher" strategy—opponents face a choice every combat that usually benefits you either way.
