Rendmaw, Creaking Nest
$1.02
Legendary Artifact Creature — Scarecrow

Golgari token chaos that floods every board with goaded 2/2 fliers, then outlasts the forced attacks with a wider board and life gain.
Read more
Rendmaw is a 5/5 with menace and reach. When it enters, and whenever you play a card with two or more card types, each player creates a tapped 2/2 flying Bird that is goaded for the rest of the game. Goaded Birds have to attack every combat and can't attack you if they have another choice, so opponents' new Birds swing at each other. The deck is stuffed with artifact creatures, enchantment creatures and similar cards so nearly every play triggers it.
In the recorded games, Rendmaw filled the board with Birds fast, and the forced attacks shaped combat and table talk every turn. Essence Warden turned all those tokens into a big life cushion. One explosive game came from Springheart Nantuko on Sanctum Weaver copying the Weaver on landfall for huge mana, and Attrition gave the deck a sacrifice outlet for removal. The weakness showed when the game went long. Early Bird pressure often faded, and a value deck with board resets ground it out, since Rendmaw hands every opponent the same tokens.
