I think the cycle is now complete. The Red one is not the strongest- but it's strong enough against the others. I don't expect to get any more than this in Red.
EDIT: Yes, the Red one is very weak by comparison. But it's still CMC = 2. And think about this:
R&D "didn't realise" that Tower of Calamities' predecessors were a cycle until we started wanting them to be, so they made Tower of Calamities. We are going to see the same thing with the Red one, I'm sure, but...
WoTC doesn't make broken cards deliberately. And, shocking though it may seem, Stoneforge, 'Goyf, and Snapcaster were all MISTAKES. As in, Wizards didn't want them to be that powerful. I haven't got enough research on R&D's opinion of Bob, beyond acknowledging simply that he's powerful. I do NOT think Wizards will ever delibera... (see all)

This card is going to be seeing a lot of constructed play in both standard and legacy. I know this because I am a pro. Flashback hate is quite the rage these days.

This is, quite simply, the best Red 2-drop in history.
Yes.

Anyone notice she's carrying a Morning-star and not a Mace?

Anybody else think she looks like Eliza Coupe ( Jane Kerkovich-Williams from Happy Endings)?

Looks like the masses are revolting and they've had enough of the guilds.
Besides hosing Flashback, this also works as a good aggressive 2-drop.

I'm glad that even though there's no Boros in this set, there's still some very Boros cards.

I agree very much with Bazzokka.
I only see this mainly as a 2drop RED creature with first strike and haste.
I put caps on red, to emphasize how uncommon it is to have an efficient, fast, red creature. This is one of them.

@MojoVince, I'm going to call her Angry Kate from now on.
@DarthParallax, one difference between this and the other cards you mentioned is it's the only one that requires double mana commitment. In theory that should make it stronger, which I'm not sure it is. This is significant to me because i really want to put her in a RG deck which currently wants to play Young Wolf turn one. To play Angry Kate turn two I'm going to need a shockland in my opening hand.
