Make Mischief trades one mana for a 1/1 Devil token that deals 1 damage to any target when it dies — that's two damage sources on a single spell, both pointing wherever you want. At instant speed for R, it punches above its price tag in sacrifice and token-ping strategies.

In Commander, Make Mischief earns its slot in sacrifice and aristocrats decks — the Devil token feeds an altar, the death trigger redirects a point of damage at a planeswalker or problem creature, and the whole package costs one mana at instant speed. Pauper is where Make Mischief has the most competitive footing, since common-legal sacrifice payoffs make every token matter and the instant-speed clause generates genuine tempo. Modern and Pioneer have enough redundancy at this power level that Make Mischief rarely makes the cut outside of dedicated token-sacrifice builds, where it's a fringe option at best. Legacy and Vintage simply have faster, more impactful one-drops, so it doesn't see play there.
