Surtr, Fiery Jötun — Burn the Board
Surtr, Fiery Jötun arrives as a 5/5 threat that doubles as a deterrent and a repeatable removal source. With a casting cost of {3}{R}{R} you get trample and a triggered ping every time you cast a historic spell, which makes artifacts, legendary creatures, and sagas into incidental burn triggers. Play this Surtr in midrange or artifact-heavy decks to pressure life totals while clearing small blockers and finishing off planeswalkers.
The card reads like a straightforward creature that rewards a historic build. The 5 power makes attacks meaningful; trample pushes damage through stalled boards. The three damage trigger trades efficiency for consistency and scales with any historic package you already plan to run. If you value predictable removal and a sizable clock, Surtr, Fiery Jötun fits into red decks that lean into artifacts and legendary synergies. Add one to your deck and turn every historic cast into an extra point of inevitability.
