Checking the AKH God Hazoret the Fervent


The first of the five Gods of Amonkhet has been revealed and it was Red one named, Hazoret the Fervent. The towering figure with the head of a Jackal looks to be a good addition to the Red-based deck in the current Standard. Here below is the card:

Initially it will just sit there on your board as you dump your hand to cast burn spells and cheap hasty creatures. In the late game, every draw would be a three-mana Shock to your opponents’ dome and it can hit for five damage.

I see its best use would be in Madness decks and graveyard-based shenanigans and my friend Rey was the first person to pm me about the card as soon as it was previewed in the mothership website. Its other use is crewing large Vehicles like the Skyship Sovereign, and is easier now for your Consulate Dreadnought to attack as a creature.

My initial build for this card is a straight-forward Mono Red Aggro Burn deck and it will look like this one:

2 Ahn-Crop Crasher
1 Combat Celebrant
2 Hazoret the Fervent
4 Falkenrath Gorger
4 Glorybringer
4 Lathnu Hellion
2 Reckless Bushwhacker
4 Soul-Scar Mage

4 Cartouche of Zeal
2 Consuming Fervor
2 Harnessed Lightning
3 Incendiary Flow
3 Trial of Zeal

2 Looming Spires
21 Mountain
