Character Background

Taste for Mayhem is pure one-mana aggression in red: a thematic slap of reckless damage that turns a cheap attacker into a clock faster, supporting tempo/aggro plans that want to close games before opponents stabilize. On turn one it turns a 1/1 into a 3/1 and can become a 5/1 under Hellbent, so it pairs exceptionally well with one-drops and haste threats (Monastery Swiftspear, Fervent Champion, Goblin Guide-style creatures) or with damage-triggers that care about power. Build around a low curve and include reliable discard or looting effects (Cathartic Reunion/Faithless Looting-style cards where legal) or careful mulliganing to reach Hellbent consistently; alternatively, throw it on evasive creatures to maximize reach. Be mindful it’s an Aura—vulnerable to removal and aura hate—so run redundant threats or pump effects, and treat it as a tempo play rather than long-term value: it wins races but won’t out-grind control decks.
