Unleash Infernal Might with Zariel, Archduke of Avernus
Zariel, Archduke of Avernus, embodies raw aggression and relentless momentum that defines the red planeswalker archetype in Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. With a modest mana investment, Zariel amplifies the power of your creatures while granting haste, making her an indispensable catalyst for swift board presence. Her ability to generate 1/1 Devil tokens with a fiery death trigger adds both chump blockers and reliable damage sources, synergizing effortlessly with sacrifice outlets or cards that benefit from repeated token deaths.
Her ultimate emblem stands as a game-changer, bestowing an additional combat phase that exploits the advantage gained from haste and token swarms. This effect shines in decks tuned for multiple combat phases or paired with creature-based strategies that capitalize on repeated taps and untaps. Zariel’s combination of incremental boosts and a devastating finisher reflects the infernal hierarchy’s ruthless command, offering players a versatile planeswalker that fuels aggressive, tempo-driven playstyles.
