[CON] Banefire
No riddle needed.
People guessed this card incorrectly on the last thread anyway...they made it worse than it actually is. Banefire   Sorcery (R) Banefire deals X damage to target creature or player. If X is 5 or greater, Banefire can't be countered by spells or abilities and the damage can't be prevented. Demonfire, who needs you? I am aware some other riddle threads are falling behind, but this will be mostly rectified this afternoon when I update the spoiler with most of them. I just suggest people to not post spoiler threads in riddle form if they don't intend to be online to confirm any of it. Also, read threads before posting, lest you confuse yourself, and or get moderated.

Incredible chase rare. This will be a red staple for years and could see more play than Demonfire did.

Holy monkey ****, it is better than the previously incorrectly spoiled one, and is super splashy! Oh man, that will definitely be useful against a certain deck, and any deck splashing red can use it. Man.

Awesome card. Probably better than Demonfire the majority of the time. Red getting two uncounterable bomby cards is really good I think, speaking as someone who is sick of seeing Blue dominating T2 then still having to hear Blue players whine about not having Counterspell.

 . I've been playing Jund ramp for a while now and this card is simply what was missing from it. Volcanic Fallout is another great addition. |

Holy crap. This puts demonfire to shame. This is another punch in the stomach to faeries. One or two more cards like this and faeries would be curb stomped out of existence.

Just when you thought Red was grinning too much after Volcanic Fallout...
...I cant believe they put a card this strong in a set with so much acceleration... All decks that can splash red, now will. |

Is this regular rare, right? Cause it's pretty nutty...

Control in standard? We barely knew you. I can't imagine how any traditional control deck can handle this thing without Duress AND Remand in the same format. Pitty about my Cruel Ultimatums...
But, oh my, how I love this card. Have that, you Cryptic Command.

Looks like a mini-naya cycle with Military Coup.

Venser still works though. Also, please confirm this is a rare not a mythic. Because I will be so ****ing pissed if it's a mythic. |
