Red has fire breathing in it's colour pie making this particular card extremely scary because with infinite mana and any firebreather will net you a win, and it is a 3/2 which is larger than most red three drops at the rarity making this extremely notable.

Oh cool, the first str... IT GIVES TRAMPLE!?
Ah well, this is an insanely good card for limited, for three mana, you can potentially just win.
4/5 Stars

As a Prossh, Skyraider of Kher player, I don't know why they gave the red achetype trample but I'm glad they did.

We already have cards Bloodmark Mentor and Urabrask the Hidden granting first strike and haste to our red creatures so I am more than happy to see this printed.
My Koth of the Hammer tokens are better served dealing actual damage to my opponent than first striking their creatures anyway.
Mono-red struggles vs green decks with large creatures and this is an excellent sideboard card against them IMO.

I know a lot of people are bothered by this card. In a lot of people's minds, trample is practically a monogreen ability. But I really do appreciate Wizards sticking to their guns about trample being in red heavily as well and printing monored cards that both have and grant trample. In the last couple of sets, there's been a red card that deals with trample and every time someone says "It is weird to see monored trample".
Maybe eventually it'll stop seeming weird. But that takes time.

RDW likes the idea of all creatures having trample. fire breathing will go amazing with this. Works well with Xenagos, God of Revels as well.

If this had been given haste, I'm sure people would have been complaining about how it's only useful the turn your creatures entered the battlefield. At least trample permanently affects your creatures (so long as you're attacking), instead of temporarily. Sure, trample is typically associated with green, but green already has the most powerful Archetype and red gets trample often enough that I don't bat an eyelash when this guy comes barreling down the pike at me. I probably jump out of the way though.

I would rather have had haste on this instead of trample.
No, I'm serious.

Haste or FS would have been way too stronk, and they knew red should be aggressively costed, soooo...
