Caesar, Legion's Emperor

Legendary Creature — Human Soldier · {1}{R}{W}{B} · Black/Red/White commander

Whenever you attack, you may sacrifice another creature. When you do, choose two — • Create two 1/1 red and white Soldier creature tokens with haste that are tapped and attacking. • You draw a card and you lose 1 life. • Caesar deals damage equal to the number of creature tokens you control to target opponent.
