Five mana is typically too high of a cost within Mono-Red builds, but it’s possible that Tibalt, Wicked Tormentor can still slot in the main deck due to the value he can produce each turn. And as an added bonus, the A22 Tibalt planeswalker can produce any number of devil tokens, unlike Burn Down the House, which can only produce three. 

Players can test out the value of Tibalt, Wicked Tormentor with the release of Innistrad: Alchemy on Dec. 9 via MTG Arena
