I was just thinking about why monored devotion isn't a thing yet, and whether it will be come Born of the Gods - after all, Boros Reckoner is generally a better creature than Nightveil Specter.
I'm actually in agreement with admirableadmiral for once, on the 5-to-the-face Reckoner interaction, assuming you slap something on it to save it.
Nefarious Burn - 1RRR
Nefarious Burn deals 5 points of damage to target creature or planeswalker. If it is your turn, scry 2.
Youch! Nice to see a card spoiled (even if it's an official spoiler from Wizards), and good to hear scry is still around... but wow is that card ever bad. A burn spell at rare? And it doesn't touch players? And it's impossible to play it except in mono red. Talk about a bulk bin rare. Dang.
There is shrapnel blast and boros charm also. Why not give red a better char/flame javelin for RRR instead of this? Is everyone playing the white leyline? True believer?

This is hardly a sideboard card for red, only because it does one more point of damage. Mizzium Mortars for everything else, and current burn spells for planeswalkers.

The red mage lives by the variance and dies by the variance. May the variance be with you, always.
I think the triple red in the casting may be a sign that a spell based devotion mechanic may be raising its head in this set, because honestly that is a lot of red for the effects on its own.
Cards that care about a spells devotion could be interesting though.

Why do they print red burn that hits walkers but not life totals? It makes NO SENSE for this card not to just say 5 damage to target creature or player. Then it might be playable. Limiting it to walkers and not life totals is so bad in terms of red. If they wanted to expand red's color pie this certainly isn't the way to do it. Don't know why they like printing the word planeswalker so much on non-planeswalker cards nowadays (hero's downfall, dreadbore, now this. Same with magmaquake.)

"Yawgmoth," Freyalise whispered as she set the bomb, "now you will pay for your treachery."
The name somehow struck me as being MTG-Meme-Worthy, but the card had to be at the end of the broken-useless spectrum to be able to strike. As it stands, it's just a mediocre card with a mediocre name.
This card is HUGE. P/T ratios are going through a major power creep atm. Most walkers are coming in at 4-5 loyality putting them beyond most direct damage spells.
We are in a world of mono color decks 3 red in cc isn't an issue for anything.
This is rare not because of the word planeswalker but because it's solid removal within a limited envirmoment that is based around creature buffs and growing fatties and not killing everything that pops up easly.
Still, I'd be mad to pull it out of my booster pack. It's pretty janky.

I'm with you there, man. I fully understand why this is rare and :1mana::symr::symr::symr:, I do, and I want to like it but... ugh.
It's that there are so many little changes, like making it cost :2mana::symr::symr: or making it uncommon, that would make this more exciting, but for the sake of that very limited environment it just isn't.
Not sure if this has been said yet or not, but here we go.
Have they ever printed a BibtB promo that was ever apart of a very specific cycle? I've been in and out of magic for most of my career in it and I can't recall anything along those lines.

well touche sir...my memory is so fantastic btw I did manage to miss the release of RTR the second I found out about RTR I jumped back in to magic lol.
This won't see play in standard, as some have said not every red spell has to hit a player, but then they really need to be lower-costed and this card isn't. It really should have been 3CC. Also this card really isn't needed given that the vast majority of Planeswalkers have been toned down. The new Kiora even has a measly 2 loyalty. I like the concept and it is fine in limited and I won't begrudge the card for that, but don't fool yourself into thinking this will see serious play in standard.

Maybe the lesser gods will work with a form of spell devotion (getting counters whenever you cast an instant/sorcery for each devotion it has in it's casting cost)

To those say red devotion "isn't a thing" or "isn't viable," RW Devotion is red devotion, and has been a well-placing deck for over a month.
Though I'll put it in a small font.
Please stop hijacking my reply box.
Cards that care about a spells devotion could be interesting though.
