Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant by band1t33

Commander: Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a political-goad deck built around Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant, forcing opponents to attack each other while you draw cards and bleed life. The primary game plan is to deploy goad engines (Kardur, Doomscourge, Disrupt Decorum, Death Kiss, Bothersome Quasit) to redirect combat, then exploit the chaos with payoffs like Exquisite Blood, Wound Reflection, The Lord of Pain, and Sower of Discord to compound damage. The deck can close games with a massive Torment of Hailfire or by suiting up Karazikar with The Sound of Drums and Shadowspear for commander damage. It lacks a fast infinite combo, instead winning through attrition, mana bursts (Mana Geyser, Jeska's Will), and repeated trigger value.
