Blue gets 3 power flying for 1 mana now days, so Efreet body is a little dated. It's good, I wonder if it is still good enough. Maybe we will get a Sea Drake reprint in this set and we can go all blue skies crazy.

Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
Really cool card. I don't expect modern play out of it because 3 mana is too much for a graveyard based deck. Maybe a 3/4 for 3 is good enough for a coco deck? I will have fun with it in casual and draft for sure.

No idea why people say this wont see play, it literally fits into an already existing deck with Bedlam Reveler + Hollow one + Faithless looting.
You can either go the Death's Shadow way, or maybe the flashback way.
This isnt card disadvantage, because this isnt bazaar. This is card parity with the upside of card quality filtering.
Its like saying Faithless looting is card disadvantage, and therefor a bad card.

The Internet was a revelation to me, I never imagined there are so many idiots on this planet.

This probably won't see play because of Seasoned Pyromancer. Sure, this has a better single body but the pyromancer retains parity and has late game potential. Any deck playing looting cards is already playing red so there is almost no reason to go into a third color just to play this strictly worse card imo. There is also that card from Hour of Devastation that has the same loot affect as pyromancer and it hasn't seen play yet.
I don't particularly care for this one. It seems too slow for any deck that wants to abuse the Bazaar effect, and decks that want a beater typically do not like card disadvantage.
