Zhao, the Seething Flame
Oracle Text
Menace (This creature can't be blocked except by two or more creatures.)
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Zhao, the Seething Flame is a straightforwardly aggressive payoff: a five-mana 5/5 with menace that pressures life totals immediately and demands an answer or a profitable double-block. In a tempo or midrange shell, he excels as a curve-topper that keeps the initiative, especially if you’ve already chipped away with smaller attackers and removal. The menace keyword makes him awkward to trade with, so any equipment, anthem, or pump spell can turn him into a serious clock; first strike or trample effects are especially punishing because they magnify the cost of blocking. As a legendary Human Soldier, he also fits naturally into a red-white “go wide then force damage through” plan, where token makers or combat tricks help clear the path. The name and fiery identity suggest relentless aggression, and that lines up well with a deck that wants to stay on the front foot rather than grind.
