Character Background
Hidetsugu, Devouring Chaos is a Rakdos-style daredevil: an Ogre Demon who “eats” away certainty to turn the unseen into immediate harm. In play, the {B} ability is a stealth engine—sacrifice any creature for Scry 2, smoothing draws and pitching away dead cards while also feeding the resource you can reliably convert into action. The real payoff comes from {2}{R}, {T}, exiling the top card: you get a free shot at the exiled card that turn, and every time it’s nonland, Hidetsugu converts its mana value into direct damage to any target, effectively stapling value to a tempo play. This supports aggressive value-tempo and combo-adjacent lines, especially when your deck can set up high-mana nonlands to “snap” into damage. Build with sacrifice targets (tokens, expendable threats) and include effects that stack the top of your library—cards that manipulate reveals or guarantee creatures/instants you want on top—so you’re consistently exiling the right mana values to maximize damage while still turning each turn cycle into pressure.
