Deck overview

This is a Mono-Red Devil tribal burn/aggro deck helmed by Zurzoth, Chaos Rider. The core engine is recursive token generation: whenever an opponent draws a card on your turn, Zurzoth creates a 1/1 Devil, and whenever Devils attack, everyone draws and discards at random - which re-triggers Zurzoth's first ability and snowballs the token count. The deck leans hard into damage-multiplier permanents like Torbran, Thane of Red Fell, Thor, Asgard's Avenger, and Hawkeye, Young Avenger to turn every Devil ETB, death, and attack into a lethal burn clock. Symmetric draw engines (Temple Bell, Scrawling Crawler, Howling Golem) feed the token machine, while Impact Tremors, Cavalcade of Calamity, and Raid Bombardment convert every entered or attacking Devil into direct damage. The primary win is a critical mass of Devils plus one or two amplifiers closing out all three opponents in a single big-turn burn.
