Kaervek, the Spiteful
Usually, we see cards that buff other creatures, but Kaervek, the Spiteful is an anti-lord, which reduces the power and toughness of all creatures by 1.
This is a great effect against decks like Black-Red Sacrifice and Mono-Red, which mostly use creatures with only 1 point of toughness. This means that Kaervek will be an auto-include in many sideboards.
Generally, this would be a great strategy against all token-based decks, as well, and it looks like there are going to be plenty of those in the Core Set 2021 meta.
