The Flame of Keld
1R
Enchantment — Saga
(As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter. Sacrifice after III.)
I — Discard your hand.
II — Draw two cards.
III — If a red source you control would deal damage to a permanent or player this turn, it deals that much damage plus 2 to that permanent or player instead.
This is a card that strikes me as much better in small cubes , with burn heavy red sections.
If your mono red decks feature multiple curve toppers and 3 CMC creatures, a few burn spells, 17 lands. No way this card is good.
But in a 15-16 land red deck with lots of burn spells, and can empty their hand quick, think it's an interesting curve topper.
Maybe not good enough, but very hard to evaluate imo.
It’s a lot like Dangerous Wager, with a bit of Pyromancer’s Swath and Trumpet Blast mixed in. Maybe it’s not terrible, but I think I’d rather just be running a real top end instead of relying on this.
This card does not strike me as very good for cube, but I've been wrong before.

My Cubes - The Busted Cube. A fully functional, almost 100% custom cube. The project started out by asking "What if other colors got cards on the power level of Mana Drain,Ancestral Recall, and Time Walk?" Draft and enjoy!
