Ringmaster's Carnival
I’ve always adored the Carnival, but there is something haunting about creatures of the world being forced to put on a show, It says something about its ringmaster I don’t care for… And perhaps something about the audience too…

Be it the Rakdos, Witchlight, or a simple roadside show for the local peoples. The carnival attracts all kinds. This map is designed with the idea of a boss fight where in a Villainous ring master stands in the center, Orcistratiting a comical battle with the players and putting on a real show for the audience.
As the fight goes on I imagine clown cars unloading waves of jesters- perhaps even Nilbogs- To keep the players moving, Eventually the cages on the far south side of the map open allowing the Performing beasts to run amok.
I like the idea of the ringmaster forcing the players to do minigames, Like Trivia about their last adventure, or Quickly solving a maze before too many rounds pass. And those who fail become charmed. But how would you run an encounter on this map?
