This card is one of the first things people are gonna want to kill early game. At least this provides a distraction from my Boros reckoners or Scourge of Valkas getting killed later. (I have in mind a mono-red devotion Scourge of Valkas deck.) This gets a 4.5/5, for effect, and for an almost guaranteed piece of bait.

Very interesting card. I heard one person say there was not enough burn in standard, But there is Young Pyromancer,guttersnipe, and pyromancers gauntlet(maybe Chandra also) as support for burn. Then all then plain old burn have tons of cards like searing blood, lighting strike, mizzum mortars, and electrickery and many more.

This guy can be devastating in the right circumstances, but I wouldn't go so far as to put him in the power 2-drop cycle. Sometimes he can be a dead card, (e.g. against control decks, who can just leave him on the board to deal with later), and top decking him can be disappointing at times. Once your removal is used up, he kind of just sits there, in all his 1/1 glory.

@Raexs That cycle was already completed by Young Pyromancer who is miles ahead of this guy. That said I'm psyched to have a playable Satyr who isn't a Planeswalker or a God. Now if we could just get a couple good lords for them...

Could this make Browbeat Modern playable?

@Odee: I think he would rather have Basilisk Collar.

I don't know about other people, but I find it stressful sometimes when targeting a burn spell when I feel like I should be burning a player's face off but there's some annoying creature staring at me that may very well be the death of me.
With this out, I simply don't have that same worry. For that reason alone it's worth its weight in my red deck. Well, it's a damn useful effect too, of course.

When I first started playing Magic, I dreamed about this sort of effect.
