FormOverFunction on Fun cards make fun decks

It’s the wrong color, but I think Cruel Entertainment fits the theme. I love having it in my tricky witches deck…

I’m also a big fan of Cruel Entertainment! I’ve got it in my pre-strixhaven witch deck; crooked deals and curses, baby!

Profet93 those are great! In my witchy-bad-deals coven deck I have Cruel Entertainment which takes your enjoyment even a step further, where you’re not even responsible for the choices made! Great additions to the list!! Thank you!!

The first card that came to mind while reading this was Cruel Entertainment. I’ve got it in my pre-strixhaven witch deck (oops) and it hits the type of fun I think you’re looking for. Beyond that, I would recommend looking at all the cards with a rakdos logo on them. While making my all-watermark decks (one of which is rakdos) I realized there are a TON of very flavorful and weird cards that go almost completely ignored... and searching by watermark is a great cheat to find some of them!

If you want to be hated, Torment of Hailfire. As a finished, Insurrection. Endless Whispers is quite funny. So is Cruel Entertainment and Sower of Discord

Cruel Entertainment and Worst Fears might be something to look at. High CMC, would be castable and has some flavor with misdirection/illusions and whatnot. Soothsaying is another incredibly synergistic card for Yuriko.

Yuriko is such a cool commander. Hopefully the alleged return to Kamigawa set has some cool ninjas to add!
