Not a fan. The flashback cost is too high. Sure you can set it up to expropriate for free but youre either jumping through hoops or getting lucky
4 mana pseudo draw 3 is fairly bad.
But flashback get 3 cards for free can win quite often, especially if you can set it up to hit what you want (Scroll Rack, Brainstorm and friends).
So quite decent, especially for red decks with big stuff.
Hitting a board wipe with this and "anything" else that will dominate the board after that will suffice.
Hitting Eldrazi and other fat stuff is certainly good too.
So decent card.
The dragon would be amazing with haste , without it, the effect is great with cheap spells, but it lacks some punch, as surviving a turn without doing anything is pretty bad and unlikely.
Well the hellkite is kinda ok for like, a dragonstorm build or something but meh.
Ignite the Future looks like one of those cards you'd just dismiss because of both mana costs but then someone just takes a game out of nowhere with 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.
Ignite the Future is going directly into my Intet deck which already ramps wicked fast and sets up explosive Intet triggers, so ItF may help create some additional consistency. Even the non-Flashback casting is relatively attractive since the deck is tuned to take advantage of those "temporary hand" effects. The deck even has a dragon subtheme and Backdraft here might be something to test as well.

Intet ftw! I had her in mind as well. I'm glad red is beginning to solidify its style of ramp and draw in temporary advantage. And white is getting their "punishing" ramp and draw, which is also fitting.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.

These two cards work well together.
Starting to think that anything short of Liliana of the Veil or Time Walk won’t be good enough for you.

Just ignore and move on, for somebody who hates on everything MtG related so much, sure does spend a lot of energy talking about it.
Eight mana for three free spells, not one. Setting up top deck is easy as it is. Do you know Insidious Dreams?

What no, that doesn't even look like Orim's design
Furthermore, why would she be casting a mono red spell
