Testing out the new "get mana" format.
"you get" -> "it produces"
Now produces any two mana instead of
.
"This produces" -> "produce"
I see you've been pushing mana generation to be a big part of Red's color pie.
One thing I noticed is that there aren't any good mana sinks in Red. Sure, you can cast your Child of Melkor or Incite Rebellion, but where are you gonna spend all that mana when you're topdecking because you draft four copies of this?
One other thing I wanted to mention is that you have four different types of mana generation in Red alone - this, Uprise cards, Ñoldorian Jewel-Wright, and (((Descendant of Aulë))). It definitely might help to convert another card to a payoff or mana sink card so you're not reliant on Child of Melkor to beat face.
Those are some of the issues I've been thinking about.
has a nice ramp archetype set up, but even there the actual payoffs cards are few and far between. Child of Melkor is a newcomer in set, but has indeed big shoes to fill and is doing a lot of work.
The second set is likely going to have at least a minor Dwarf tribal thing going on so I might as well move Descendant of Aulë there. Maybe another payoff card could fill the slot it leaves behind...
This is strictly better than Pyretic Ritual on two counts. You should restrict it back to producing only RR.
"two mana in any combination" -> "
and one mana of any"
Shortened the flavor text.
