Unleash Infernal Might with Zariel, Archduke of Avernus
Zariel, Archduke of Avernus brings the raw, relentless fury of the Nine Hells directly to your battlefield. As a red planeswalker, she embodies aggressive tactics and swift assaults, making her an ideal commander for decks focused on fast, punishing damage. Her +1 ability fuels your offensive by granting creatures you control +1/+0 and haste, a perfect combination to surprise opponents and capitalize on instant-speed strikes. This trait synergizes especially well with token generators and burn spells, creating a relentless tempo that few can withstand.
Her 0 ability summons a 1/1 red Devil token that deals damage when it dies, adding incremental value and a deterrent against blockers. The ultimate, -6, delivers a potent emblem that grants an extra combat phase each turn, a game-changing advantage that can overwhelm defenses and close out matches quickly. Pair Zariel with cards like Chandra, Torch of Defiance or aggressive red creatures to maximize her impact. With a starting loyalty of 4 and a mana cost of {2}{R}{R}, she fits smoothly into a midrange or aggro shell, making Zariel a formidable asset for any red devotion or token-focused deck.
