I wish RDW was actually remotely playable so I could play this now...
Actually I take that back, there is some decent RDW material in standard.
Vexing Devil
Stromkirk Noble
This
Pillar of Flame
Guttersnipe, depending on the deck
Thundermaw Hellkite
Bonfire of the Damned
Brimstone Volley
Hellrider
Mizzium Mortars
Reforge the Soul
Not to mention almost every one is going to be starting at 18 >:)

Yes, it's pretty much a middle finger to Snapcaster, but hey, at least he isn't a necromancer :)

"What ho, Ash Zealot! Might you cast us a spell?"
"Ho Ho Ho Ho! Of course, young adventurer!
...
I CAST MACE"

The second ability won't see consistent use, but simply it's a 2/2 first strike haste for two mana. It's an excellent two drop.

Not the best two drop in red ever but pretty good.

Should read "punish target Innistrad player".

A 2cc for a creature with haste is good enough, and she has first strike too to make her a staple in a red deck. With Innistrad still around, most players will sometimes forget her third ability and eat a mace for casting a flashback card.
Though do remember that it's "each player" and not "each opponent". You won't want her to swing at you for flashbacking a Faithless Looting.

This card is good. Compare to Blood Knight. While the ability to hose white decks is very good against well, heavy white decks, flashback hate hoses, a lot of degenerate strategies and affects a lot of decks. Not only that, but, in burn, this card can get in for very early damage which Keldon Marauders and Blood Knight cannot. Also, against control and other spell heavy decks, this brings the beatdown. Very well rounded, and could see play in Burn, RDW, and maybe even be in sideboards. I don't know whether or not you would play this over Hellspark Elementals in burn, I still am going to playtest with this. The fact that it has First Strike (Good for stalling the board/beating down if you have pumps) AND Haste (early beatdown is very very good in burn) makes it playable on it's own even without the third ability.
