Description

Xanathar, Guild Kingpin (AFR 391) is a legendary creature — Beholder from the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms set. At the beginning of your upkeep you choose an opponent and gain a suite of effects until end of turn that prevent that player from casting spells, let you look at and play the top card of their library, and allow you to spend mana as though it were any color to cast those spells. The card functions as a 5/6 colored black-blue creature suitable for commander and other singleton formats where legendary multicolor creatures are playable.
