I do agree that 7-drops deserve to be good, and perhaps it isn't even as frustrating as when my sub-par aggro deck recently met Wall of omens on turn two in succesive games.
Why do I never learn? I keep waiting excitedly for spoilers to start, and then they just reveal planeswalkers, pushed constructed staples and commander toys.
Firewheeler looks strong to me, but I may be "best-case'ing" it. Of course, in our format it is competing against all stars like Nekrataal and Flametongue Kavu, so it is a bit less impressive in relative terms.
Light up the stage is indeed uncommon, and looks interesting. The "end of next turn" thing also means that even if you hit two lands, you at least get to play them both.
EDIT: Afterlife might have something cool for sacrifice decks. Will be interesting to see.
Since there is no Ravnica Allegiance thread yet, what do you guys think about the Rakdos Firewheeler and Growth Spiral? Both look pretty interesting, but the Firewheeler looks much weaker than the other XXYY cards.
Rakdos Firewheeler still has quite a bit of potential, but its guild tends to already have good options. Growth Spiral is worthless - it might be a fine card but there is no point in dedicating a guild spot to a glorified Explore. On the other hand, depending on how 'Spectacle' works (and assuming that it is non-rare), Light Up the Stage could prove interesting. In particular, since it specifies the end of your next turn, it already provides a much better baseline for CA in red than prior exile draws available to us.
MTGGoldfish has Light Up the Stage as an uncommon. That's R for two castable cards in exile (if your opponent lost life this turn) AND you get to cast them next turn as well. It's a tremendous card.

I think Snakeform and Icy Manipulator might be the only answers in my cube to a resolved Sphinx, so frustration levels could be high.
