The Poker Fiend Cast
Kiln Fiend is a creature you can resolve on turn 2 that can win the game on turn 3. While the Fiend’s toughness will remain unchanged, getting an additional 3 power for a single spell is a massive bonus. If you’re able to combine free spells, protection spells, and something to give Kiln Fiend double strike, you can deal 20 really early on. Therefore, it’s not the same thing as Fiendfyre, since it doesn’t have the same effect once cast. It may be a similar spell, but because of the different effects, it’s certainly not exactly the same as Fiendfyre. It’s possible they’re separate types of one sort of spell, but Grindelwald’s spell is distinct from Fiendfyre. The team targets an investment broker, Jack Hurley, who swindled a charity.
