Fanatic of Mogis

Creature — Minotaur Shaman3 generic manaRed mana

Devotion as a payoff is usually a static threshold or a creature that swells with your color count; this one cashes the entire tally in a single burst the moment it lands. The 4/2 body is almost incidental. What four mana buys is a Banefire pointed at every opponent at once, scaled to how many red pips already sit on the board. In a deck stuffed with one-drops and double-red costs that number climbs fast, and the entry trigger converts a developed red board into reach the deck would otherwise lack. The design rewards exactly the build mono-red already wants: a low curve, heavy color saturation, and a wide board. The two toughness is the tax for that flexibility, since the card is sold entirely on its enter trigger and the corpse it leaves behind is a bonus rather than the plan. Where most red aggro leans on burn held in hand to close, this folds the reach directly into a creature, so a board that would otherwise stall against a sweeper or a wall can instead redirect its accumulated devotion straight at the opponent's life total. The card also punishes the natural instinct to trade it off: killing the Fanatic after the trigger resolves does nothing to unwind the damage, and racing it means racing a threat that already spent its most important line the turn it arrived.

When this creature enters, it deals damage to each opponent equal to your devotion to red. (Each Red mana in the mana costs of permanents you control counts toward your devotion to red.)
