Maraxus was one of the most powerful and brutal Keldon warlords to have ever lived. The Witch Kings could not control him, and he eventually left to lead the Sawtooth Ogres. He captured Starke during a raid and was hired by Volrath to battleGerrard Capashen. Starke killed Maraxus during the battle, earning him a spot on the Weatherlight crew.

~'s power is equal to the number of permanents you control.
At the beginning of combat on your turn, choose an opponent or planeswalker Maraxus could attack at random. Maraxus attacks that player or planeswalker this combat if able.

Maraxus, Chaotic Warlord is the subcommander for the RW Warriors deck. I wanted to capture the general feel of Maraxus of Keld (which is on the Reserved List) while also adding some new spice. With Maraxus, the key words are "powerful" and "uncontrollable". "Powerful" manifests in his power-setting ability which checks the number of permanents you control (now also counting enchantments and planeswalkers, and not caring about whether or not permanents are untapped), while the "uncontrollable" aspect manifests in his choosing an opponent or planeswalker to attack at random. Maraxus can easily swing for game on his own, but you don't get to choose who he swings at. It's like his original flavor text said: He has no master. He is chaos.

Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
