Satyrs and their destructive revelry seem like they could add a very particular tone to red in this set.

So, sacrificing creatures to draw cards is something we see in black. If this asked to sacrifice an artifact or land, I assume it would be mostly fine

Does anyone think it's an issue to ask for a creature sacrifice here in red?

{r} can certainly "cycle from play" artifacts and lands, but this draws two cards. Cards of this type that draw two cards in {r} are most often, if not always, some variant of rummaging (or demanding an empty hand). This clearly is of that contentious {r} card advantage type which afaik have so far been only allowed through things "impulse drawing", punisher effects, or "wheeling".

Seems like "color bleed" to me.


Though I think this is common knowledge, I'll cite the Mechanical color pie 2017 article here:

> "Red doesn't get any card advantage, with two exceptions—impulsive draw and wheeling."

I don't think there has been changes on this stance.


EDIT:

Wait, derp, given you spend this and a card in hand or play to draw two, you are technically cycling two cards for two cards. So... carry on?

­{r} does have a plenty of cards that sacrifice units to deal damage or produce mana, but so far not any I can think of to draw cards. I would imagine that a card of this type might have been purposefully avoided so far to limit comparisons to {b} as the two colors already share a lot of common ground mechanically (a topic which seems to often come up these days).

Hey and apparently only about a week ago this video with a functional identical card went online. Sometimes a certain design's time just has come. ^^

... for "Mario: The Gathering"? Aight.
