Karona, False God
Embrace pure political chaos by passing cards, control of permanents, and spells around the table while protecting yourself with deterrents like Propaganda and Ghostly Prison. The goal is to turn the game into a wild, interactive game show where players cast each other's spells and fight amongst themselves.
Asked for“Every color. The goal is to make the game as chaotic as possible without any coin flips or die rolls. I want every other player to be having fun with this. Players should get to play each other’s cards. I want to have cards being passed between players, and i want to encourage players to not attack me because its more interesting not to. I dont want to counter game plans, just make the game weird while it lasts”
Deck anatomy
What this list actually runs on: how cheaply it casts things, and whether it has enough ramp, card draw and interaction to keep up at the table. Each block is one card — hover for its name.

The working parts
Counted from Scryfall’s community card tags, not from the builder’s own labels. A card that does two jobs counts twice, so these add up to more than the deck. The hatched band is a common rule of thumb, not a law — combo decks run leaner, battlecruiser decks heavier.
