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?
can certainly "cycle from play" artifacts and lands, but this draws two cards. Cards of this type that draw two cards in are most often, if not always, some variant of rummaging (or demanding an empty hand). This clearly is of that contentious 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?
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 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.
