MTG Salvation

Well...that's probably one of, if not the best uncommon in the set for limited. It's going to take a lot to beat 3 damage to any target and draw a card/rummage for 3 mana, even with it only being sorcery speed.

Sorcery speed hurts it, but the Learn part makes sense for it being that way.

'buster

So it's a 3-mana burn spell that tutors for a Lesson...any Lessons that are burn spells so Modern Burn might pick it up? Alternately, any takers among R/X Prowess, Jund, etc.?

I think this is the first one to breach 3 mana

Haha, what? I must be misunderstanding you, because that's not true by a long shot:

• Hammer of Bogardan
  
• Arc Lightning
  
• Thunderclap
  
• Urza's Rage
  
• Fiery Temper
  
• Carbonize
  
• Barbed Lightning
  
• Yamabushi's Flame
  
• Rift Bolt
  
• Thunderblade Charge
  
• Puncture Blast
  
• Resounding Thunder
  
• Volt Charge
  
• Brimstone Volley
  
• Flames of the Firebrand
  
• Annihilating Fire
  
• Bolt of Keranos
  
• Collective Defiance
  
• Hungry Flames
  
• Open Fire
  
• Firecannon Blast
  
• Repeating Barrage
  
• Wizard's Lightning
  
• Precision Bolt
  
• Skewer the Critics
  
• Slaying Fire
  
• Fateful End

Great stuff from PINDURSKI.

The more I think about this card, the more I think this has stiff competition with Bonecrusher Giant. Although Bonecrusher Giant's burn end deals only 2 damage, it's at instant speed, and not many Lessons can outdo a 3-mana 4/3. How much will access to mass looting, (expensive, drawback-prone) removal, or a guaranteed Magecraft/Prowess trigger be worth?
