Rendmaw, Creaking Nest

Rendmaw, Creaking Nest is a political powerhouse that turns multi-type cards into a token army while forcing opponents' creatures to fight each other. Your game plan centers on playing cards with multiple types—artifact creatures, enchantment creatures, planeswalkers, or modal spells that count as multiple types—to generate free 2/2 flyers for everyone. The twist is that all these tokens are goaded, meaning they attack other players instead of you, turning the table into a chaotic free-for-all where you benefit from the carnage while staying relatively safe.

You'll win through a combination of combat damage and attrition. By flooding the board with evasive tokens while your opponents' creatures are forced to attack each other, you'll gradually whittle down life totals and remove blockers. Rendmaw itself brings a solid 5/5 body with menace and reach, so it can pressure directly or hold back as a defensive anchor. The key is leaning into multi-type permanents and instant-speed plays to maximize token generation while keeping the board state confusing enough that opponents struggle to coordinate against you.

This deck rewards political savvy and timing. You're not trying to combo off or go infinite—you're creating a dynamic where opponents are forced into bad combat math while you're building up resources. The goad mechanic does heavy lifting here, so expect table politics to matter as much as card selection.
