Character Background

Hidetsugu, Devouring Chaos is a volatile engine that mirrors its lore: an Ogre Demon that feeds on others’ sacrifices to pull chaos from the top of your library and then weaponizes it. In practice, the {B} ability lets you turn expendable creatures into incremental information and fixing—Scry 2 helps you set up the exiles you actually want, while the exile ability gives you reach by letting you cast what you reveal for the turn. The key damage spike comes from exiling nonlands: Hidetsugu deals damage equal to that card’s mana value to any target, so your best turns happen when you hit expensive spells and convert them into both tempo (casting them immediately) and removal/burn. Build your deck to maximize high mana-value hits—include ramp or a curve that peaks at 4–7 mana, and lean into sacrifice shells (tokens, death triggers, or reanimation) so you always have creatures to feed him. This card primarily supports value-tempo and proactive control, turning inevitability into immediate board pressure.
