TheoryCrafter on Archetype Name and Card Recommendations

A card with a similar effect to Varchild, Betrayer of Kjeldor is Combat Calligrapher. Though you can balance the drawback a bit by adding Blood Seeker to your deck.

Other cards I think may work the way yer looking for are Bloodvial Purveyor and Jolene, the Plunder Queen.

There's also the "Vow of..." cycle. The ones relevant to your deck are:: Vow of Duty, Vow of Lightning, Vow of Malice, Vow of Torment, and Vow of Wildness. Another Aura that works like that is Spectral Grasp.

Also, if you really wanna have some fun, there's also Jinxed Choker, Jinxed Idol, Jinxed Ring and Sleeper Agent. And don't forget the Demonic Pact+Harmless Offering combo!

I hope this helps. Thank you for reading me out. Happy Hunting!

I don't think there's a specific name for these cards. There's only four of them (not counting Sleeper Agent, which can attack freely), spread over more than 25 years, and they're generally specific to the Commander format. They're the "someone else gets them but they can't attack me" cards.

Sower of Discord + Saskia the Unyielding basically makes all your opponents take one person's combat damage.

I'm planning on possibly rebuilding my Saskia the Unyielding deck (again) and I've been considering a few ideas, one of which being cards that I give to opponents, but that can't attack me. I was wondering if there was a term for these sorts of cards, and if anyone had any recommendations for cards that could fit into the deck. I want to see how many there are before adding goad effects. The deck is {B}{G}{R}{W}, and so far I've found:

Xantcha, Sleeper Agent, Sleeper Agent, Alexios, Deimos of Kosmos, Rite of the Raging Storm, and Varchild, Betrayer of Kjeldor

Thanks in advance

Amazing deck! I did not realise there was someone before me with this idea, and I love how your deck is looking. Cards to consider for your Maybeboard: Acorn Catapult, Death by Dragons, Elephant Resurgence, Kamahl's Summons, Plague of Vermin, Tempt with Vengeance, Artifact Mutation, Dowsing Dagger  ^Flip, Curse of Disturbance, Liege of the Hollows, Sawtusk Demolisher, Akroan Horse, Hungry Lynx, Life of the Party, Sleeper Agent, Tahngarth, First Mate and lets not forget the "Hunted" cycle with Hunted Horror, Hunted Dragon and Hunted Troll

I'm not sure if it fits what you're going for since it donates itself, but there's Sleeper Agent.

Immortalys on Cards that put creature token …

Clackbridge Troll hasn't been mentioned yet, but I'm not sure if your opponents will attack you with 0/1 Goats. Slaughter Specialist is a good one though. Sleeper Agent is one you can directly give away. Dowsing Dagger  ^Flip also gives your opponents creature tokens, but they are 0/2's with Defender, so again I'm not sure if you want that.

I had a 1v1 casual deck, where the ideal turn one move was to Dark Ritual into Wall of Souls and Sleeper Agent. It was full of stuff like Festering Wound and Pestilence, with a bunch of counterspells and Walls and that guy who let's you draw cards through your opponent's suffering. It was really fun. Think I even had some janky shiznat in there.

Also, TypicalTimmy, your floor looks pretty damn great. The actual one, not the picture above.

Make an enchantment with the words "other," "as" and "if" in the rules text.

Why not toss in the OG Sleeper Agent while you're at it?
