This Knight will get compared to Bonecrusher Giant and be seen as lesser because of the strategic tension between casting the creature or Adventure. What do you think?
Heartflame Duelist 1W
Creature - Human Knight (Rare)
Instants and sorceries you control have lifelink. "The flames of Embereth will never be extinguished!"
—
Heartflame Slash 2R
Instant — Adventure
Heartflame Slash deals 3 damage to any target.
3/3
This next burn spell is the usual instant-and-sorcery-in-graveyard burn spell, but at common, also counting Adventures, and starts off at 2 damage.
Furious Firebolt2R
Instant (Common)
Furious Firebolt deals X damage to target creature, where X is 2 plus the number of instant, sorcery, and cards with Adventure in your graveyard. Johann's guess that the fire dragon quells the rainwater elemental was correct. Now all that was left is to find a way to quell the fire dragon.
Kellan's Blade1W
Instant (Common)
Bargain (You may sacrifice an artifact, enchantment, or token as you cast this spell.)
Kellan's Blade deals 3 damage to target attacking or blocking creature. If this spell was bargained, destroy that creature instead. Kellan slashed instinctively. The blades he created slashed through the frost warrior like it wasn't there.
Really not liking the adventures that are more expensive than the creatures they're attached to. Even ignoring that, the duelist is definitely worse than bonecrusher, because each half is worse than the corresponding bonecrusher half. But a bad bonecrusher can still be a good card.

This last burn spell is white's usual Impeccable Timing combat burn spell, that turns into a Divine Verdict on bargain.
