Regal Behemoth (Commander: The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Light Play

Regal Behemoth — Monarch Maker

Regal Behemoth is a straightforward commander era beater that also plays a political role at the table. As a 5 by 5 trampler with a six mana cost, it pressures life totals and forces blocks. Its enter the battlefield trigger makes you the monarch which shifts incentives for opponents that want the crown back.

The real utility is steady resource upside. While you hold the crown, tapping lands gains extra mana which smooths midgame plays and accelerates splashy top end. In most green based builds this translates into easier casting of big ramp targets and improved tempo on successive turns. Card text is concise enough to slot into a variety of decks where board presence and resource advantage are both valued.
