Incinerator of the Guilty is a heavy hitter from Murders at Karlov Manor that lives in the skies and ends games that let it connect. The 6/6 flying creature with trample presents a classic red threat profile. The art shows a dragon diving from a vaulted bridge above a gothic manor which reinforces how well it controls open airspace and punishes slow blockers. Played on curve, it pressures life totals and forces unfavorable blocks because of its size and evasive reach.
The combat trigger changes typical burn math by converting graveyard resources into area removal. Whenever Incinerator of the Guilty deals combat damage to a player you may collect evidence X. When you do it deals X damage to each creature and each planeswalker that player controls. This makes it both a clock and a sweeper against token boards or planeswalker-heavy builds. Deckbuilders looking to exploit the evidence mechanic will find synergy with cards that fill the graveyard and with other effects that push combat through.
