Enchantment
Whenever an opponent casts a non-creature spell, ~this deal that player 1 damage.
1, sacrifice ~this: destroy target enchantment or artifact. ~This deals 2 damage to its controler.
I like it. I want more Burning-Tree Shaman-type abilities for Gruul. Burn 'em when they cast spells with this. Burn 'em with Immolation Shaman when they try to activate abilities. Just let the world burn! This is a pretty nice spell. Great against drakes or phoenix.
Between this and Rhythm of the Wild it seems unlikely that Control has much prospect for long-term success. Demystify will have to be in the main.
I don't think this is going to warp the metagame so much that control starts maindecking Demystify, I doubt Gruul decks are going to MD Rhythm of the Wild, and certainly not this, which can be nearly useless in certain matchups, on the other hand, this looks like a very promising SB card, stick one on the board vs Izzet Phoenix decks and watch them cry.

They should main at least 2 copies. Not only will that give them an edge versus Control but their nontoken creatures will have riot. That being said, we'll just have to see how the archetype develops over the next few weeks.
Control players would be wise to consider the inexpensive enchantment hate, in my opinion.

control has the edge on the play and on the draw against rhythm. its a nice card if it sticks for some reason, but control has 3 or 4 or more different available tools against it.
whereas this is kinda nice sideboard, even mb against a meta that wont exist anytime soon. at RG its still valuable on the draw. problem is it has to come in numbers from the side to make sense. still better to play effective multifunctional creatures?
It actually bums me out that this is an enchantment rather than a creature. Gruul seems flavored not just to be anti-noncreature spells, but specifically creatures that hate NC spells.
This could be a good sideboard card for burn or even Jund in modern. Good against control and has upside against artifact decks.

If MTG is a part of your life, the formats are like relationships:
Standard/Block = The on-again, off-again holiday fling
Modern/Vintage/Legacy = Stable, homely. A ***** after absence/misreading
Limited/Sealed = Heart breaking free spirit
Commander/Cube = Agreeable, needy and expensive
Pauper/Peasant = Sweet, kind, practical, but shy and boring
Card is mode for Modern, as the card does so much that burn already wants.
It fights combo decks ala storm and kci and hits sideboard cards against all opponents.
Guaranteed to be a hit for modern in any sideboard for R/G decks that can use it.

I still dont like this in your face cards that want to fit right in a hole of constructed.
Its over-engineered , it reduces the good feeling to find a nice card in that slot on your own.
I agree this looks like a premier anti combo card in eternal formats. It can remove combo pieces and prevent storm like kills. There is already plenty of hate for those kinds of decks, but having another option is great. In standard it doesn't seem very good, so it will still feel bad to open.

Man. Feels bad that this isn't a creature because it's perfectly on theme for Ruric Thar but if you cast this he's going to smack you upside the head for 6.

You're going to wait until Ruric's on the field to cast it?

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
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.

It's a singleton format, RG doesn't tutor for enchantments and Ruric decks want him on the board asap. The probability of randomly drawing this before you cast Ruric is pretty low. Yeah you could slip it in if your big 6 cmc general ever dies but that still makes this card a very situational cast in that deck unless you're okay with the additional "pay 6 life" it has tacked onto it in the deck that most wants this effect.

Mortify will be huge. Going to 4 main.
