BR is my least favorite color combo, but Judith is slick and delights me. She does all the things I'd want to do with Rakdos. Encourages aggression, rewards recklessness, creates no-win situations for opponents, allows me to get value out of sacrifice outlets.
She's alright. I know it's day one but Rakdos seems less represented this time around. She definitely needs help in Standard and throwing a 1 of this in Modern Humans in response to blockers/no blockers smells like a blowout.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
Oh wow, I was hoping this set would provide some new toys for my Alesha Commander deck. And very happy to say this does not disappoint. Quite a lot of potential, will need to see how it plays.
In other words, she wants her folks to attack and die hard. Unearth works nicely with her as well as Whip of Erebos. Give Judith deathtouch and her 1 damage would kill instantly. Either let my creatures through, or die in my hand by blocking them.
Nice all around here. Good art, good implementation, plenty aggressive. Red is already suuuuuuuper aggressive though in Standard, so why would it splash a second color for her? Looks like she will need to have her own build, maybe two of them in a deck will make for an extra shock due to state-based effects?

ohhh.... she helps ensure that the new Rakdos Ability will trigger.. Swing, if they block, their dude dies and you profit, or your dude dies, she pings, and you profit.

It makes your 2/* trade with their */4. Or their */3 AND their */1. This is both very powerful and very flexible. If it finds a home, it will be amazing.

When I hit my 3000 post mark, I'm gone for good.
Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.
Now that's a Rakdos go-wide commander for you. Wonderful synergy with spectacle costs, as well, as it gives you added incentive to go all-out. If your creatures die (and hopefully trade, the +1/+0 buff helps greatly), boom, spectacle is online even if none of your attackers actually get through.

Lapsed DCI Rules Advisor - Retired from playing but still hanging around
Non-token is a bit of a disappointment with so many tokens around, but its classic WotC over protection to ensure the card doesnt end up being too good.
Its a human, so if all breaks, you can just play 1 or 2 (maybe even 4) in a Humans deck.
Even if you play a 2nd copy, you at least get 2x 1dmg out of it.
Pretty much will see play for sure, as it gives a red deck more punch.
Even fits in as a "finisher" for combos that loop creatures around.
Would look at Reveillark to get stuff rolling (even with Phantasmal Image in the mix)

Let's hope that comes in the Guild Kit along a new art Lyzolda, the Blood Witch, they may not be worth even a dollar but getting them in any condition other than "feels like toilet paper" nowadays is an odyssey.
Good for Aristocrats.

really like the ability too, though i feel b/r already has all the tools to excel at that so she's kind of overkill to an established strategy.
