Killian, Decisive Mentor, Legendary creature — human warlock, designed by Billy Christian first released in Jan, 2026 in the set Secrets of Strixhaven Commander.

Killian, Decisive Mentor would fit best in an Orzhov (white‑black) enchantment/Aura‑based aggro‑control deck that wants to suit up creatures with Auras, disrupt combat, and generate steady card advantage; the tap‑and‑goad trigger helps force enemy creatures into awkward attacks while clearing blockers, and the attack‑with‑enchanted‑creatures trigger rewards you for going wide or voltron with Auras.
