Anzrag's Rampage — Unchained Engine of Ruin
Anzrag's Rampage is a compact engine of board reset and tempo that rewards precise timing. Cast for {3}{R}{R}, it clears artifacts you do not control and then exiles the top X cards of your library where X equals the number of artifacts that hit graveyards this turn. The follow up is practical and straightforward. If a creature card is among those exiled you may put it onto the battlefield with haste and it returns to your hand at the next end step. The effect converts artifact hate into a short lived threat that can win combat steps or close out a game.
In play Anzrag's Rampage reads as both disruption and opportunity. Use it after opposing artifact sacrifice or when multiple artifacts die in the same turn to maximize X. The temporary creature is useful for surprise damage or activating enter the battlefield triggers while preserving long term card economy by returning to your hand. The card fits well in red decks that lean into chaos and rewards sequencing that veteran players appreciate in Murders at Karlov Manor.
