| '''Devil''' is a [[black]] and [[red]] [[creature]] [[subtype]] used for cards that depict atrociously wicked, cruel, or ill-tempered evil [[spirits]], having the power to afflict bodily harm and spiritual corruption. They are subordinate to [[Demons]], but do not share their affiliation for black mana, being more psychotically self-indulgent and impulsive (and thus red) than power-hungry and manipulative. Physically, they bare a resemblance to Demons, except that they are usually smaller and lack wings. Let loose in the world, they satisfy their mad craving for destruction in a whirlwind of chaos.

| The first card to bear the type was <c>Stone-Throwing Devils</c> in ''[[Arabian Nights]]''. ''[[Dissension]]'' added <c>Squealing Devil</c> and ''[[Shards of Alara]]'' added <c>Scourge Devil</c>.

| ==Innistrad block==
| |
| After a long pause the storyline of [[Innistrad (plane)|Innistrad]] added many new devils. Of the <c>Pitchburn Devils</c> of Innistrad it is said that they have the ingenuity of [[goblins]], the depravity of demons and the smarts of [[sheep]]. The [[Avacyn Restored|last set of the block]] also contributed the half devil [[planeswalker]] [[Tibalt]].

| ==Return to Ravnica block==
| |
| On [[Ravnica]], devils are seen to be part of the [[Cult of Rakdos]].

| ==Trivia==
| |
| * The [[flavor text]] of the [[sorcery]] <c>Devil's Play</c> ("''A devil's hands are never idle''") refers to the old folk saying that "Idle hands are the devils plaything", regarding the stupid things people can do when they are bored.
