Hidetsugu, Devouring Chaos

Hidetsugu, Devouring Chaos is a sacrifice outlet that rewards you for playing big spells and turning your deck into a weapon. The core gameplan is simple: feed creatures into Hidetsugu to scry and dig for threats, then use his second ability to exile cards from the top of your library and deal damage equal to their mana value. The deck naturally wants ritual effects, cost-reducers, and high-impact spells that generate value when sacrificed—think aristocrats meets big red damage payoffs.

You'll build around repeatable sacrifice outlets and creatures that reward dying: Zulaport Cutthroat effects, Smokestack, and tokens from your own permanents. The exile-and-play ability turns your library into a second hand, so include card draw, tutors, and ways to manipulate the top of your deck with scry effects. This synergizes beautifully with Hidetsugu's built-in scry, letting you stack your deck for consistent high-damage turns. Win by chaining sacrifices and big spells together until you've dealt 40 damage across multiple triggers.
