'Magic: The Gathering' Commander Cards That Put A Target On The Opponent's Back

16 An Offer You Can’t Refuse

This card may seem a little counter intuitive, but countering someone’s spell and giving them extra mana right off the bat disrupts their game plan. And all the other players at the table see that that player can now ramp into something bigger, making them pull ahead early on and drawing focus. 

15 Curse of Opulence

Incentivizing other players to attack someone is exemplified in this card. This not only ramps you, it ramps the other players attacking. Making the curse-ee feel very unlucky.

14 Thantis, the Warweaver

Not only does it make everyone else want to attack someone other than you, it speeds up lengthy Commander games.

13 Smothering Tithe

This scales with multiple opponents and if someone at your table casts this, they need to be merc’d immediately.

12 Sanguine Bond

If you see this card, your opponent is about to combo off and go infinite. Deal with them or the game is lost.

11 Curse of Shallow Graves

Zombies, zombies everywhere. This card rewards players for attacking a single opponent by giving them swarms of undead. 

10 Curse of Vitality

Like other aura curses, this one majorly incentivizes folks to attack the cursed player.

9 Curse of the Nightly Hunt

Enough shenanigans, this enchantment makes it so the targeted player must attack every turn. Very deadly if you have a strong board and the other players must fight amongst themselves.

8 Assault Suit

Make everyone else fight each other while you bide your time.

7 Bitter Feud

This one puts a target on TWO opponents’ backs. Make them ignite in a bloody fury of battle while you kick back and build up your board.

6 Disrupt Decorum

Spark a blood bath and let your opponents know the biggest threat on the table is someone other than you.

5 Rhystic Study

This is a great way to get value that scales the more opponents you have. But it also puts a target on the casters back. If an opponent casts this, they’re public enemy number one and must be dealt with asap.

4 Gahiji, Honored One

Making all the creatures on the table a little bit bigger while they attack other players is a winning strategy.

3 Edric, Spymaster of Trest

There’s a reason this guy is banned in 1v1 Commander. He’s just too good.

2 Furnace of Rath

Another great way to speed up games and incentivize folks to go all out and attack each other.

1 Orzhov Advokist

This card really embodies the spirit of Orzhov. Make a sneaky deal to create strong creatures… that can’t hurt you. 

That's the list! It's not in a particular order, we just wanted you to know what cards to look out for if someone else has cast them, and a few nasty ways to make everyone hate you win the game.
