Ignite the Battlefield with Zariel’s Infernal Command
Stepping into the fray as a fiery force of reckoning, Zariel, Archduke of Avernus roars with the relentless fury of the Nine Hells. This legendary planeswalker thrives on pushing your combat phases into overdrive, turning your army into a swift, burning tide that leaves opponents scrambling. Her +1 ability not only pumps your creatures with +1/+0 but also grants them haste, making every attack a surprise strike. This effect pairs exceptionally well with aggressive red decks or token synergies, where speed and pressure decide the pace of the game.
Her 0 ability summons a 1/1 devil token that burns on death, dealing damage anywhere, perfectly complementing sacrifice or damage-focused strategies. The ultimate, however, is where Zariel truly reshapes the battlefield—granting an emblem that unlocks an additional combat phase every turn. This ability is a game-changer, synergizing especially well with creatures that trigger on attack or damage, such as Embercleave or Fires of Invention, enabling explosive turns and overwhelming board presence. Zariel is a standout planeswalker for those who relish relentless offense and tactical dominance.
