About Acolyte of the Inferno

Acolyte of the Inferno, Creature — human monk, designed by Joseph Meehan first released in Jul, 2015 in the set Magic Origins. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.69.

A deck focused on aggressive red strategies, such as a mono-red or red aggro deck in Magic: The Gathering, would benefit from including Acolyte of the Inferno due to its efficient cost, ability to quickly grow in power with renown triggers, and the ability to deal extra damage when blocked. While there may be other stronger cards in the same mana cost range, Acolyte of the Inferno's combination of abilities makes it a solid choice for decks looking to apply early pressure and maintain board presence, making it a viable option for play in the right strategy.

Rules

06/22/15

Acolyte of the Inferno’s last ability will trigger once for each creature that blocks it. Each of those creatures will be dealt 2 damage.

06/22/15

If a renown ability triggers, but the creature leaves the battlefield before that ability resolves, the creature doesn’t become renowned. Any ability that triggers “whenever a creature becomes renowned” won’t trigger.

06/22/15

Renown won’t trigger when a creature deals combat damage to a planeswalker or another creature. It also won’t trigger when a creature deals noncombat damage to a player.
