Hideous Taskmaster from Commander: Modern Horizons 3 presents a formidable colorless threat that rewards careful planning in multiplayer games. This near mint English print slides into any Eldrazi-focused helm, using the Devoid ability to signal colorlessness while delivering a dramatic play pattern. When you cast it, you can seize control of up to one target creature from each opponent until end of turn, then untap those newly controlled threats. They enter your temporary army with trample and haste, and annihilator 1 adds pressure on the defending player as the turn swings forward. The taskmaster itself carries its own punch with trample and haste and a built in annihilator 1 to keep the battlefield unsettled.
In practice, Hideous Taskmaster hinges on timing and board presence. It scales with the number of opponents, enabling a sweeping grab that can derail plans and reset the battlefield dynamics in a single swing. Use it to disrupt wheels and engines, then press the advantage with a potent offensive line. As a rare from MH3, this card fits well into colorless or Eldrazi-centric decks that value high impact turns and resilient does-not-care about color mana strategies.
