Agrael Deck Guide — Might & Magic The Card Game

Agrael is an Inferno hero in Might & Magic The Card Game. Inferno is the demonic fire faction — it wins by flooding the board with cheap creatures, pressuring relentlessly, and finishing with direct Fire damage to the enemy hero.

This guide covers Inferno's aggressive game plan, the cards that make an Agrael deck tick, a sample swarm-burn list, and how to mulligan for an explosive start.

What the tracked data says

Agrael's Playstyle

Inferno is a tempo-aggro faction. Agrael wants to apply pressure every single turn, trade only when it's profitable, and use cheap Fire spells as both removal and reach to the face.

• Flood the board early with one- and two-cost demons and Breeder Larva.
• Keep pushing damage — you usually win the race, so don't slow down without reason.
• Burn for reach — Fire spells close out games the board can't finish.

Key Cards

These cards define a Agrael deck — build around them:

Cost	Card	What it does
4	Ignatius Legendary	Your Fire spells cost 0 during the combat phase — a burn engine.
6	Phiras, Prince of Annihilation Legendary	Gives adjacent characters Cleave for huge board swings.
3	Breeder Matron Epic	Grows whenever you summon a creature — rewards swarming.
3	Spawning Chamber Epic	Summons 2 Breeder Larva to refill the board.
6	Doom Bringer Epic	Deals 3 damage straight to the enemy hero on arrival.

Deck archetypes

These are grouped by what the lists actually contain, not by what anyone called them. A group appears here only when several different players have independently built close to the same deck, so what follows describes the deck rather than quoting its owner. Together they cover 69.9% of the 429 distinct Agrael lists on record; the remainder are one-off brews that resemble nothing else.

Mulligan Guide

Agrael wants to act on every early turn. In your opening hand:

• Keep one- and two-cost demons so you can curve out turn 1–2.
• Keep Firebolt — cheap, flexible removal or reach.
• Redraw six-cost cards like Doom Bringer; they're too slow for the opening hand.

For the full keep-or-redraw framework, see our Might & Magic The Card Game Mulligan Guide.

Matchups & Tips

Matchup	Games	Win rate
vs Nur	1,421	70.8%
vs Anastasia	902	54.0%
vs Agrael	846	59.1%
vs Slava	781	56.7%
vs Giovanni	486	68.5%
vs Sandor	281	59.1%

Only matchups with 50 or more tracked games are listed. These are recorded from the Agrael player's side, and because both sides are not equally likely to be running the tracker, a matchup and its mirror image will not add up to 100%.

• Vs control: race them and save burn for the face — don't let the game go long.
• Vs aggro: use Heatwave and Hellfire Bloater to stabilize the board, then push back.
• General: calculate lethal early; Fire spells often add the last few points the board can't reach.
