Deck overview

This deck is a Rakdos combat control strategy led by Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant. It leverages forced combat mechanics to compel opponents to attack each other while protecting its own life total. As opponents clash, Karazikar draws multiple cards each turn cycle, maintaining resource velocity. The deck builds a continuous web of goad effects using cards like Disrupt Decorum, Baeloth Barrityl, Entertainer, Alexios, Deimos of Kosmos, and Kardur, Doomscourge. Once opponents have battered each other down to low life totals, the deck transitions into the endgame by deploying evasive menace threats, myriad creatures like Dalek Squadron and Gnoll War Band, extra combats from Karlach, Fury of Avernus, or creature theft via Hot Pursuit to finish the survivors.
