I am ALL over that red guy. I need ten playsets. I think I might play him in everything I own. Red's pseudo-crad advantage AND double striking and trampling, for such low mana. Such goodness. I think I might cry.
Anyway, I really like the two red ones. Nice build-around cards.
The Demon though... That just isn't my type of card... Though, it is nice that they draw during your upkeep, so if they immediately kill, they don't get value.
Master of the Feast is really making me desire some type of Dimir mill engine with Notion Thief and Dictate of Kruphix - where to go is still beyond me.
EDIT: sorry, meant to write card draw engine. Not mill, lol. Mill is always on my mind.
I want that red guy to be playable so bad, and he MIGHT see some(madcap skills is still here) and he adds to devotion. But he puts a pretty huge target on his head.

Whispering Madness with Notion Thief is pretty unfair. Maybe even Fate Unraveler?
Titan strength! I think titan strength. That demon is best friends with notion thief, they still get 1 draw, but hey, its still pretty strong. The copying thing seems meh to me
And I wish the demon didn't look like a drunk *snip* baby...
Retard should only be used in a medical context and not in a derogatory way. -TK
I love that Flamespeaker. He's just got so much going on it's hard not to like him. I wonder what deck I'll use him in...
That demon is pretty cool. Sure, giving the opponent extra draws isn't great, but who cares when I'm beating you in the face for 5 on turn 4? Or sooner in the possible G/B enchantment deck that may soon be made.
Okay, officially preordering a box. Prophetic Flamespeaker is easily the Voice of Resurgence of the set. It's just plain ridiculously good for its mana cost. Master of Feasts could see some play in a super-aggro deck, just not sure how much. Twinflame is... niche. Very, very niche.
NOTE: I'm NOT complaining when I say Flamespeaker is pushed. At all.
For what it's worth, the opposite of evergreen is "deciduous" so I suggest we start using that from now on to refer to shroud, banding, islandhome, etc.
That demon is really hard to evaluate. A mana dork can get it out on turn two when it dominates other creatures but its going to draw non-red opponents the opponent into removal very quickly.
The demon is pretty interesting. 5/5 flyer for 3 is a sweet deal, but letting them draw cards? I dunno if the extra 2 P/T can oust it over Desecration Demon, but it is good to have an alternative.
Twinflame is a neat card. Don't think I'd play it in any RDW incarnation right now, but maybe down the road? EDH could like it.
Flamespeaker is strange. Pseudo CA for 3? Nothing I'd play in Legacy, but I'm still not sure what to make of it.

Yummy. I like that idea. Could Dimir Control Draw Engine be something? Probably not, but I'd like to think.
The copying thing is really good in EDH.. particularly in a mono red deck running a stack of mana doublers... or for copying something with a nasty ETB effect... I mean though I'd prefer that i'd be able to repeatedly copy the same creature It is better than Heat Shimmer... except you can only target your things.
Geez, a 5/5 flier for 1BB. Wizards is really in love with Black this standard! Maybe I'll run a copy in Nekusar too. Eh, maybe not. Still seems pretty good for Devotion though.
Hello blatant cash-grab mythic. Nice to see Wizards continuing to make cards that are mythic just to be chase cards.
Prophetic Flamespeaker looks good. It will definitely see play in red devotion decks as a replacement to Reckoner afterrotation and it might be playable in Shamanism in Modern.
I am not sure what the demon is playable in, but it seems like it should be playable somewhere.
Twinflame seems interesting but not good enough to see play.

Well, not really, the EV from the spoiled mythics seemed okay already. But still!
