Wow. Really, Wizards? Flameslash was so strong that you felt like you had to make a 2R version of it? I know, I know, different limited formats, and all that, but bumping the cost by two?
On the other hand, Collateral Damage looks like "here's a lightning bolt for any high creature density red deck" (Jeskai tokens, perhaps?), so THAT'S a thing.
Also, I wanna make a discard deck now, since we have that black windfall, and a delveable mindrot. Will it be good? Probably not. Will it be hilarious? I sure as hell hope so
Dark Deal isn't exactly a Windfall because each player draws as many cards as they had minus one. It's still a cool option for some EDH decks. Return to the Earth seems solid for monogreen EDH.
Wow, red got some nice toys in this set. And Pyrotechnics? Didn't see that one coming. Definitely was a favorite burn spell back in the days of Fourth Edition
1) Cloudform looks good obviously, as far as semi-luck based deckbuilding goes.
2) Lotus-Eye Mystics looks fair. Expensive deluxe Auramancer.
3) Pressure Point and Refocus look okay as far as silly standard combos might go.
4) Dark Deal looks interesting. Toss your hand to fuel reanimator or delve stuff and throw your opponent off.
5) Break Through The Line looks okay. Unblockable for and haste for R looks cool. Just need the right weenies for the job.

I think Cloudform might break into constructed
Break though the line works really well with Goblin Rabblemaster you activate it before combat then it pumps after Also Jeskai Infiltrator.

This is perfect. I have built a deck around Monastery Mentor and Young Pyromancer and this card fits into the deck perfectly. I think this card will be a staple in a number of token strategy decks that play red.

I guess we were waiting for them on the Mothership posts and forgot to look on the Card Image Gallery.

No the card image gallery didn't update properly for 40 minutes
The Runemarks are all pretty interesting
Winds of Qal Sisma is going to be great in limited (might see some constructed too)
Jeskai tokens will love it. So might a Mardu deck running Alesha and or Bloodsoaked Champion
who else is trying Dark Deal with Waste Not?
There's a key difference though.

lol You know that cards like Winds of Change exist, right?
I secretly ship Ral x Jace... and Nissa x Chandra... :">Winds of Change shuffles cards into your library. Putting them into the graveyard makes Dark Deal stronger, even at two mana more.
