About Defiler of Instinct

Defiler of Instinct, Creature — phyrexian kavu, designed by Steven Belledin first released in Aug, 2022 in the set Dominaria United and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.78.

Defiler of Instinct would be beneficial in a red aggressive deck that focuses on casting red permanent spells, as it provides a cost reduction and deals damage whenever a red permanent spell is cast. However, there may be better options such as Young Pyromancer, which generates tokens when casting spells, or Monastery Swiftspear, which gains prowess and haste. Whether Defiler of Instinct should see play would depend on the specific strategy and synergy of the deck, but it could be a viable option for a red spell-heavy build.
