Xanathar, Guild Kingpin

Not yet bracketed (or genuinely unplaceable).

—

6cmc legendary creature with a repeating upkeep lock: target opponent can't cast spells this turn, while you exile and play the top of their library with mana-fixing. A potent stax-prison piece that doubles as repeatable card-advantage and resource denial. Signature in control/midrange shells with sufficient interaction. Risk: slow to establish and vulnerable to creature removal before the lock triggers.
