Axonil Unleashed
Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might is a compact but potent option for red decks that want a persistent damage ceiling. The card reads with trample and an ability that upgrades any red source you control so that noncombat damage to an opponent is set to Ojer Axonil's power when that damage would be lower. That makes even small burn spells scale late game and creates consistent closing pressure while the creature is on the battlefield.
The die and return clause gives this legendary god a reliable recursion line since it comes back tapped and transformed under your control. In practice Ojer Axonil pairs well with token producers and repeatable damage effects because its presence converts incremental damage into lethal increments. The card fits the Lost Caverns of Ixalan theme by tying aggressive tempo to an artifact of deep legend rather than brute statistics alone.

Card Text / Rules Text (Printed) – Trample. If a red source you control would deal an amount of noncombat damage less than Ojer Axonil's power to an opponent, that source deals damage equal to Ojer Axonil's power instead. When Ojer Axonil dies, return it to the battlefield tapped and transformed under its owner's control.
