Marisi, Breaker of the Coil
Legendary Creature — Cat Warrior
Your opponents can't cast spells during combat. Whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to a player, goad each creature that player controls. (Until your next turn, those creatures attack each combat if able and attack a player other than you if able.)

Strategy
Marisi is all about turning combat into a one-sided affair. Your commander is a 5/4 body that locks opponents out of casting spells mid-combat, then goads their creatures whenever you connect—forcing them to attack each other instead of you. This creates a weird, chaotic table state where opponents are constantly fighting each other while you're swinging in safely.
Your deck wants cheap, evasive creatures or token generators that can attack repeatedly and trigger Marisi's goad effect. Cards that grant extra combats, unblockability, or pump effects turn this into a snowball plan: attack early and often, goad everything, watch the table tear itself apart. You're not trying to one-shot anyone with commander damage—you're the conductor orchestrating a war between your opponents while you chip in for chip damage.
