The thing about the firedancer is- what purpose does it serve? As a burn deck it does nothing for you. As an aggro deck, would you be running the burn to justify it? And if its job is to clear a path for your beaters, well, its a 1/1 1R drop, so it is self defeating in that regard, just run another beater instead. Its not win-moar, but its awkward
If it was on a better body, maybe. Even a 2/1 would have pushed it to be pretty playable. 1 power, nope
I've got a Dega Extort deck that hates having to choose between my opponent and threats. I'm not sure if there's anything I'd take out to put the Firedancer in but I'm not ruling it out.
People need to learn to read. It doesn't target players, only CREATURES, making it garbage everywhere but in Limited. Even there, I'm not sure he's good.
It's not a particularly powerful card, but I wouldn't go that far. I'm sure it will at least see some Limited play.
The Satyr seems very good. He lets you send your burn to the face AND remove that pesky blocker. At the very least, he looks like he'd be a good sideboard card for Sligh decks. Bring him in against creature strategies.
Firedancer is cool. What would be really cool is if there was a card like that but reversed, so that an overloaded Mizzium Mortars would immediately win the game.
I assume you mean standard, but if you mean casual check out Repercussion.
Fire dancer will be fun to try with Delver of Secrets in formats with both. The new burn spell and searing blaze become awesome at clearing the way. Maybe not better than young pyromancer there though.
Wow. Seems like just about every color now has decent God removal...
God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Yet his shadow still looms. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?

The only good thing about this post is the edible chocolate roaches they gave out! Mmm mmm!

Revoke Existence will be sideboarded mostly in decks that run white. I can't imagine it would be that terribly necessary in most games to warrant mainboarding it, but time will tell.
Satyr Firedancer is quite powerful if it can remain in play, generating substantial card advantage over time. It is not clear to me whether there is a deck that wants that effect however; but it will be worth keeping an eye on over its life in Standard.

Except for blue, black, and red.
You know, two of the three colors of this Standard.

Yep, thanks. Now I can hope for that to be reprinted.

Come on now, this is modern magic. The effect needs to be stapled onto an undercosted creature.
Satyr has a cool effect that would be fun to toy with in red decks.

How about being able to counter a god for one mana with Annul?
