Baeloth Barrityl, Entertainer forces opponents to attack each other by goading every creature that enters combat on their side — a five-mana 3/3 that redirects the entire table's aggression without spending a card per target. The Rani runs it in nearly half of all builds because a goad engine is exactly what a chaos-and-politics deck needs to maintain board control while setting opponents against each other.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant
Karazikar, the Eye Tyrant already goads creatures when it deals combat damage, so Baeloth Barrityl, Entertainer extends that goad coverage to every attacking creature on the table, turning Karazikar's gameplan into a full-table lockout.
Firkraag, Cunning Instigator
Firkraag, Cunning Instigator rewards opponents for attacking each other, and Baeloth Barrityl, Entertainer ensures those attacks keep happening by goading every creature that enters combat — more attacks mean more dragon triggers.
Nelly Borca, Impulsive Accuser
Nelly Borca, Impulsive Accuser forces a designated attacker each turn, and Baeloth Barrityl, Entertainer layers goad on top so that forced attacker can't swing back at you — the two cards close the political loop cleanly.
Marisi, Breaker of the Coil
Marisi, Breaker of the Coil shuts down noncombat spells when your creatures connect, and Baeloth Barrityl, Entertainer keeps opponents swinging at each other rather than holding blockers, making Marisi's combat-damage lock dramatically easier to maintain.

Commander is the natural home for Baeloth Barrityl, Entertainer — goad is a multiplayer mechanic, and a five-mana 3/3 is tolerable in a 40-life format where the political value of locking down the table's combat is worth the body. In Legacy and Vintage, where the card is technically legal, it has no competitive application; a five-mana creature that doesn't win the game immediately doesn't survive those formats' threat density. Oathbreaker is the one other format where the card could pull its weight, specifically in a red-black goad or politics shell where the commander and signature spell can be tuned to compound its effect.
