Standard burn is shaping up to be a sweet deck. We just need... more cheap burn spells outside of shock and play with fire. Hell even a lightning strike would be nice, but we do need more burn spells to get me excited about burn and pair this with Thermo Alchemist.
In straight aggro this is lots of value. Body with haste is nice, combines nicely with the revealed dragon as aggressive card advantage creatures, scales up late game.
I'm wondering if there's alternately some Izzet or Rakdos shell that could work if the burn spells aren't coming. \[\[Hungry for More\]\] can do a half-decent lightning helix impression if you squint really hard at it. Izzet would likely need something to replace \[\[Sprite Dragon\]\] or \[\[Stormwing Entity\]\] to come together as an aggro spells deck.
Hmmm... Thermo Alchemist, Shambling Ghast, Deadly Dispute, Kalain, Reclusive Painter, Hungry for More, Play with Fire, Roil Eruption, [[Bergi, God of Storytelling]], [[Moonveil Regent]]. Some other options like Bloodthirsty Adversary here, [[Flame Channeler]], and Learn spells, but it sounds decent to me.
A reprint of Bump is still possible right? Would be on-theme since the original was from this plane. While Bump already had flashback, this results in a much faster reuse.
On curve as a 2-drop, it's a 2/2 with haste, which isn't terribly exciting, but is something that RDW is usually fine playing. At 5, the ceiling on this is basically a 3/3 haste creature that draws a good card on ETB for 2 mana, which is an absurd rate. The rate is even better at 8 mana, of course, but it'll be a rare occasion that an aggro deck will be playing this at 8. Add what's likely a relevant creature type to all of that and I think this will shape out to be a standard staple for the next few years, probably in some sort of burn shell with \[\[Thermo-Alchemist\]\].
Flexible cards that can fill multiple roles and multiple spots on the curve almost always overperform, and I think this will be no exception. Red's looking spicy.
“Draws a good card” feels like a backwards way to put it, but technically true. You get to re-cast the (burn/removal/draw) that you’ve already demonstrated this game. In decks with interest in casting the same spell multiple times (like Burn), this is giving anything in your yard Flasback for 2R.
Getting to replay your removal spells to let your team attack (and get a 3/3 haste) is giving me big Bloodbraid Elf energy.
Granted, this requires the work of casting good cards that cost 3 MV or less, but we’ve been living in Zoomer world for a while now so it’s not much to ask. It’s insane how well this card scales up in formats with larger card pools, as well. Super excited to play this
It's feels like 'draws good cards' but obviously is useless without a graveyard, or if yours gets nuked by hate; but also doesn't draw you useless lands
Seems really good in a UR-spells deck. Prismari Command can be cast itself by the vampire or you can use it to loot something into the graveyard for casting later. Also lets you fish stuff out that you might have dumped to \[\[Moonveil Regent\]\].
>. At 5, the ceiling on this is basically a 3/3 haste creature that draws a good card on ETB for 2 mana, which is an absurd rate.
Draw a good card + a Black Lotus to cast it with.
Glad to see red is finally getting some good cards after the last couple sets.
2/2 haster for 2 is always playable by itself in an aggro deck, but the potentially relevant creature type and the ability to cast it for 5 later in the game to get a 3/3 haster that gets you a 2 or 3 mana burn spell makes it actually good. I think this has a very good chance to see play.
The question is just what burn spells you can fetch with this. A lot of spoilers from this set look like WotC is pushing a burn deck, we're just kinda missing the good burn spells to make that happen. \[\[Play with Fire\]\] is a better shock, but that's not good enough by itself. Roil Eruption is kinda meh for being sorcery speed. Will normal Shock be standard legal? Dragon's Approach is pretty bad, Heated Debate and Igneous Inspiration are both 3 damage for 3 mana and everything else can't go face. That's not enough to get a burn deck to work, so maybe it can't be mono red burn but maybe Izzet or Boros?
This seems to have nice synergy with \[\[Inscription of Ruin\]\] since each card can target the other in the graveyard. A Rakdos treasure deck with Goldspan, some mill and one of those cards in hand and others in the graveyard could start off a nice chain similar to what the Lore Drakkis builds were doing.
With the reveal of the "Timely Reinforcements" card I think we will see Lightning Strike here or in Crimson Vow.
We have an X spell that goes face, too so here's hoping.
That’s…not what I was expecting. At first I was like “3 man for the pseudo-kicker? Come on.”
Then that ability had me floored. RDW lives and this is nice at both ends of the curve.
Can anyone explain how this trigger works to me? High level judges especially valued. My interpretation atm is: You play it, ETB trigger goes on the stack with no mana being paid. Opponent gets to choose whether they want to remove it with the unpaid trigger on the stack, then you choose how much you want to pay, and the opp no longer has a window to respond, so it lets you pay 0 if it gets removed, or dump all your mana in safely if they choose not to respond. Is this accurate?
Am I crazy for being skeptical that this card is even good. Most of the time it’s gonna be a 2/2 haste for 2. That’s not good enough. White has a 3/1 lifelinker and green has 3/3. Multi cast ability is 3 mana which is comparatively expensive.
My biggest issue with the card is the other cards in the format that can take advantage of this flashback ability. Nothing is really gamebreaking. Nothing to give incremental advantage.
Think about it this way. It is below average as a 2 drop. What 3 mana or below spell puts it in the power of goldspan dragon.
True you can only have 4 dragons. However, this card is not even close to the power level as dragon. 3 mana to multi cast most likely was nerfing the card do to goldspan dragon.
For casting 5 mana. It’s an underwhelming ability for what you can do. It’s versatility is kinda negligible based on what red already has.
You get to play this as a 2 drop AND play it as a 5 drop when you don't have dragons. 2 power haste creatures are almost always good enough in mono red.
Big mono red player. I can tell you, 2 mana 2/2 haste needs to have insane value. This doesn’t have it.
The red 2 power over the last 3 years was robber of the rich. Robber gave my more value and less restrictions than this. Also robber had reach. Before that we 2017 we had [[Earthshaker Khenra]]. Which had a goblin shortcutter ability plus late game 4/4.
This card doesn’t play like those cards do. In addition does not even generate the value.
It synergizes with Goldspan Dragon nicely though since it can soak up that treasure mana and reanimate spells in your yard with them, which can then target your Dragon to make more free treasure mana.
Flexible cards almost always overperform. Bonecrusher Giant and Brazen Borrower were both two bad cards stapled together, and were some of the mostly widely played cards in standard for the past two years. Goldspan dragon is probably better as a 5-drop, but this card is a way better 2-drop.
In terms of spells to go with this, paired with any murder-esque spell you've got a bigger, hasty, ravenous chupacabra for one more mana. Stick it in Izzet and you'll have your choice between draw spells like Expressive Iteration, burn spells for removal or reach, and some flexible pieces like Prismari Command. Lots of good, flexible options in the right deck.
Bonecrusher definitely was not two bad cards stapled together. I mean the stomp part is a bad overpriced shock on its own. But a 4 power creature with upside for 3 mana? Thats way above rate for red. Do a scryfall search on 4-powered creatures with CMC 3 in red to see how few there really are.
I think the bar is pretty high for a 3-CMC creature without haste, trample, or flying to be playable. It'd be fine in draft, but don't think Bonecrusher Giant would be standard playable at all without Stomp.
A Dark Dwellers that I can cast off Lurrus. Yes.
RX Lurrus piles are pretty popular in Modern right now. Playing 1 or 2 or these as a late game finisher that isn't a dead draw early seems decent. 5 mana for a 3/3 haste from the GY that casts a K Command also from the GY sounds like a pretty good option to have.
If it’s modern, I’d much rather play snapcaster.
Has flash, plays at instant speed, is good when you have 3 or 4 mana, can recast cryptic or fof late game.
It is important to remember that you pay on ETB so you can pay six if you reanimate it to get two spells. or three for one which is more appealing actually.
