The Bloodsky Massacre

A three-chapter Saga that pays for its aggression backwards: chapter I hands you a body before you've done anything, chapter II converts your attack step into a card-draw engine, and chapter III cashes the whole board out for a burst of red mana. That final chapter is the design tension worth sitting with. The mana it makes survives the transition between steps and phases, so this isn't a Berserker payoff so much as a ritual that scales with a Berserker board: build wide, let the Saga tick to its final chapter, and the ramp arrives on your terms rather than the game's. The catch is that everything before chapter III is timed to combat, not to ramp: the draw trigger only fires on turns your Berserkers swing, and the life loss is the price of feeding that engine. It reads like an aggressive curve-topper and plays like a sacrificial payoff piece, and that mismatch is the interesting part. The Demon Berserker token that arrives first is what seeds its own chapter II draws and its own chapter III mana, so the Saga is effectively self-fueling if left to run all three turns. Every step of that arc is exposed, though: a board wipe resets the Berserker count and hollows out both the draws and the mana burst. Left alone, it compounds value while wearing an aggro costume.
