Loki, the Deceiver
Legendary Creature — God Sorcerer Villain
Whenever Loki attacks, create a tapped and attacking token that's a copy of another target Villain you control, except it isn't legendary and it's an Illusion in addition to its other types. Sacrifice that token at the beginning of the next end step. Whenever one or more Villains you control deal combat damage to a player, draw a card.

Strategy
Loki, the Deceiver is all about multiplying your Villain threats while drawing extra cards. Every attack creates a free copy of another Villain you control, attacking immediately as an Illusion, which you sacrifice at end of step—this constant token generation combines perfectly with his second ability that triggers whenever Villains deal combat damage, letting you draw a card each time. Your strategy is to load up the board with strong Villains (especially ones with enter-the-battlefield or attack triggers), swing with Loki, copy the best Villain multiple times, and draw a bunch of cards while dealing steady damage. The deck runs a mix of evasive Villains, card-draw payoffs, and equipment to turn tokens into threats. You're playing a tempo-focused midrange game where every turn generates value through copies and draws, snowballing into inevitable victory through commander damage or token swarm.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Swap pricey equipment like Mjölnir for cheaper evasion like Piumps, Unblockable, and Curiosity effects; use basic Villain lords instead of rare mythics.
