Unleash Infernal Fury with Zariel, Archduke of Avernus
Zariel, Archduke of Avernus, stands as a formidable planeswalker whose fiery presence reshapes the battlefield with relentless aggression. Her ability to boost your creatures' power and grant haste allows for swift, punishing attacks that can catch opponents off guard. The red Devil tokens she conjures not only bolster your board presence but also provide tactical burn damage, a versatile tool that complements aggressive and midrange red strategies effectively. Zariel’s emblem, granting an additional combat phase, is a signature finisher that can turn the tide of any game, especially when paired with creatures that have impactful entering or leaving the battlefield effects. This emblem embodies the relentless spirit of Avernus, pushing your units beyond the ordinary limits of combat.
Playing Zariel alongside cards that benefit from multiple combat phases or creatures with haste and evasion creates powerful synergies. She fits naturally into aggressive decks that prize tempo and burst damage, making her a key component in Adventures in the Forgotten Realms builds looking to capitalize on continuous pressure and board control. Experience how Zariel’s mix of token generation, creature empowerment, and game-changing ultimate ability can redefine your red deck’s capabilities.
