Is Cabaretti Cacophony worth buying?

from Streets of New Capenna Commander Decks: Are They Worth It? by Ignacio (Iñaki)

This deck’s strategy is a really fun one. It’s the first time we get a Commander precon built around goad as a mechanic and I love the idea. I think Cabaretti Cacophony loses a bit of its focus in its execution. While tokens are great in a deck like this they end up taking up a lot of space while not really interacting with the deck’s main theme.

It does have a reasonable number of value cards along with great reprints, so Cabaretti Cacophony’s sheer value isn’t terrible at all. I think the deck could use a few upgrades and retouches here and there. The tokens are useful for taking advantage of Kitt Kanto’s ability but I feel like too much focus on them can end up being harmful to the overall strategy.

How Cabaretti Cacophony plays

Cabaretti Cacophony is a goad deck through and through. It wouldn’t be the first time we’ve seen this strategy in a Naya deck since Marisi, Breaker of the Coil played into it before (coincidentally a great addition to this deck). Kitt Kanto, Mayhem Diva plays into the archetype in a relatively passive way. While Marisi wanted you to attack your opponents and thus goad their creatures, Kitt Kanto plays a more manipulative role, goading specific creatures during your opponents’ turns.

The deck also has a smaller subtheme of tokens which are relevant to the Cabaretti as a faction. It also has some decent support for your own attackers so you won’t be exclusively depending on goading your opponents.
