Boros is one of the weakest guilds in cube. Could this be interesting for medium-large sized cubes?
In my cube most RW decks are aggressive where this would not fit in, but I could see it do some work in a Welder/Artifact deck or potentially in Naya Pod or Mardu Reanimator.
Probably too slow and narrow, but a really cool card. You need it to survive for a turn cycle, you really want to hit 2 and 3 to make it not just massively tempo and mana negative (yes, if you put a 3-drop into play you're technically up a card, but you had to use your turn 4 to do it and tap your 3-drop, so you're gonne be behind on board). If you're supporting the recent GY boros themes WOTC has been pushing (since Strixhaven I think?), this is probably worth a test, especially in a slower cube environment.
The ability is super cool but I also feel this is a poor match for most cubes. I think you would need a very slow environment packed with board stalls for this creature to shine. I bet Commander players will enjoy it.
This is very Magus of the Wheel, but is a single color, better stats, and a cheaper (and probably better overall) ability. I'd rather play Magus of the Wheel to support more draw 7 combo abuse than try to work out whatever Queen Kayla wants to do.
I like this a lot, will definitely at least try playing it. I have an artifact theme in white/red with cards like Oswald Fiddlebender, this card should go very nicely into that deck.
I didn’t notice it said „creature“ as well, and just sort of assumed it was a boros artifact card. In my cube, the ideal spot with this would be drop 2-3 creatures, but I don’t see my RW decks having much of a hand on turn four if they’re functioning properly. Don’t really have a home for this, but it’s a cool card for sure.
I think there is some consideration if it had instant speed, but sorcery is really meh.

Boros is a very weak guild though, so it's not like your taking a massive step down in power to try it.
