Baleful Beholder · Compendium

When this creature enters, choose one — • Antimagic Cone — Each opponent sacrifices an enchantment of their choice. • Fear Ray — Creatures you control gain menace until end of turn. (A creature with menace can't be blocked except by two or more creatures.)

Mox strategy

Baleful Beholder is a 6/5 black creature for 6 mana with a powerful modal ability: on entering, choose to force each opponent to sacrifice an enchantment or give your creatures menace until end of turn. Its strengths lie in flexible disruption or aggressive pressure in midrange and control decks. Best used when your opponents rely on enchantments or when you need a combat advantage. Synergizes well with decks that create multiple creatures to leverage menace or with enchantment-heavy metas for effective disruption. It supports gameplay mechanics centered on board control and combat manipulation. Low cost and solid stats for the mana make it practical in Pioneer, Modern, and Legacy formats.
