Tyrant Token(Similar to monarch)
If you are the tyrant, spells cost {1} less to cast, or, you can cast a spell by sacrificing a creature.

Simic? Probably...
Great concept, though! I'll see if I can make it. With your permission, of course, @LordTachanka123 .

1/3
At the beginning of the upkeep, each player who isn't the tyrant loses 2 life. (Whichever player has the most cards in their graveyard is the tyrant.)
You may have to reword it. It seems that everyone can be the tyrant at the same time.
