Double Trouble on the Battleline
Fiendish Duo is a compact threat that changes how opponents plan their life totals. As a 5 5 with first strike, it trades favorably in combat and punishes any source that tries to chip away at your foes. The card text reads plainly and predictably, which is exactly what you want when building a red deck that prefers blunt answers over subtlety.
In Karlov Manor style play the Duo excels at accelerating clock speed and amplifying incidental damage from burn spells or reckless creatures. It pairs cleanly with damage doublers and ways to force opponents to target themselves. Flavor wise the two headed devil lives up to its name; small size does not mean small impact in a format built around unusual table interactions.
