This set is a cube home run....this card would have made the cut over Falkenrath Gorger with the dash ability alone. Then they add ramp and pseudo card advantage. Disgustingly powerful.
This card is just completely broken...what an absurd card...cube staple forever and this is going to make a ton of waves in constructed as well.
I think it's BETTER than Goblin Guide in most decks, #1 red 1 drop in the cube. Obviously pure mono red will disagree but this is so much more versatile.
Really cool card! Wasn't expecting anything like this. I doubt I'll end up using the treasures as an artifact synergy - I think it'll just be some really nice value for the aggro decks. Look forward to playing with it.
The more I think about this card the more I feel like this is an Oko level mistake that is going to get banned in some formats and be quite format warping.

Uh? wow! This card does everything. Too good almost.
It's WAY too good. This guy's as pushed as Questing Beast, tbh. About the *only* thing that "balances" him is that he's only 1 toughness and has no evasion. Both of those can be remedied but it takes a bit of work.
Not sure which red 1-drop I'll replace to put this guy in but it probably won't be too hard to figure out. He easily deserves a spot in both my cubes, tbh. My poor wallet but I'm happy to do it--this set it so great. I really do think they designed it for me holy *****. BOTH my cubes are getting a total shot in the arm with this set I'm *deliriously* happy over here.

Pretty sure this is far, far more pushed than Questing Beast. It's the best 1 drop creature ever printed - great turn 1 and actually an OK top deck late game as a potential card advantage engine. Questing Beast is an awesome 360 staple, but it's arguable whether it's the best 4 drop green creature over Oracle of Mul Daya and it's definitely not the best 4 drop creature in the cube (that's probably Palace Jailer or Urza, Lord High Artificer.
Ravagan really doesn't have any competition in the 1 drop creature slot, it's clearly the best 1 drop creature in the cube. It's probably also the best red card in the cube and also the best creature in the cube. There's just no creature for 1 mana that does it all like this guy.
At rare you get this and we measly peasant cubers still can't even have a vanilla 2/1 for R without downside. Ridiculous. Only thing good about it is that I don't have to pay $50+ for a single, recently printed card...
All else equal, this is way better than Lightning Bolt, and I don’t think it’s particularly close. I’m never P1P1’ing Lightning Bolt over this even if Bolt goes in more decks. I would pick Bolt over this only if I’m already in a red control deck later in the draft.
I seriously don't know what they were thinking with this card.
It's absurd in Legacy Delver, which is now obviously the best deck.
This is an easy ban in legacy in my opinion.

I agree, it feels like the best red card in Cube.

Which is still a really high bar. I'm not saying anything bad about this card I want to be clear.

As far as 1 drop creatures though I’m not confident this beats Mom.
