Karazikar by LazyWizard

Format: Commander

Commander: Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Rakdos goad/politics deck built to make opponents kill each other while Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant turns every cross-table attack into card draw and life loss. The primary plan is to play early goad effects, force the table into combat, and then convert the resulting damage and death triggers into a board-state win with Blood Artist or a repeatable Master of Cruelties + Fling kill. Ares, God of War provides recursion to reuse attacking value pieces, and treasures from Smaug or Cavern-Hoard Dragon accelerate the curve. The commander is a value engine rather than a pure win condition, so the deck can function without it, but much slower. No infinite combos are present; the floor is high because all pieces are individually useful.
