Kaima, the Fractured Calm

$0.30

At the beginning of your end step, Kaima goads each creature your opponents control that is enchanted by an Aura you control, then gets a +1/+1 counter for each creature goaded this way. Goaded creatures must attack next turn, and must attack someone other than you if they can. The deck puts Auras on opposing creatures, keeps them goaded every turn, and turns Kaima into a growing commander-damage threat while the rest of the table fights each other.

In the recorded games, the plan worked best when several enemy creatures were enchanted, so opponents kept losing life to each other while Kaima got bigger. Ramp and land drops helped deploy Auras quickly. It was strong at forcing attacks, but the rising Kaima drew attention, and opponents often turned on it as the biggest threat. A fast combat deck could outpace it, since goading does little against a player with extra combat steps. With only seven games recorded, expect slow, political games.
