Nifty, although it would be better as 2 damage for r1 since that's all that's needed to get rid of the problematic white creatures.

Very good limited common, although we more or less know it for sure. Thanks for the picture though. Too bad it doesn't show the useful information (collectors number) clearly.

They're probably taking into account that Incinerate is about to return to the environment soon.

Interesting card. It's going to take me a while to wrap my head around all the weirdness of this set. I just hope we start to get more constructed-worthy goodness, as most of the set revealed so far seems to be primarily limited fodder.

I must say that I am impressed how they handled the colorlessness. And it is indeed the art described by Cyril van den Haegen. Thanks, Jaya.

As someone who plays Pauper Magic, I am glad this does 3 damage. It deals with one of the format's most troublesome creatures: Guardian of the Guildpact.

Thing I dislike most about Futureshifted cards is the backwards mana cost

Color before colorless!

Anyways yeah the card is fairly good and will probably see some play especially after char rotates.

I think its also good! It avoids Circle of Protection: Red, Soltari Priest and other pro red stuff! Its definitly going in my boros deck as that is what I have problems with the most!


Edit:

@chaosof99, it looks like it says 115/180 for card number.

It looks like 1*5 to me. Based on the number crunch, I'd guess it's 115.

Nice..Finally a colorless card besides a land!!

Maybe this is hinting at possible colorless instants and sorceries that don't use colored mana!!

The land will interesting to use....Good to pay two colorless to turn your dead creature into a permanent mana source!

The flavor text on Ghostfire seems...odd.
It seems very Kamigawa-ish.
Thoughts?

EDIT:
Furthermore, Ghostfire's border is colorless. I can see later sets implementing lots of colorless cards with colored mana costs. Awesome!

I HIGHLY doubt Scourge of Kher Ridges is Futureshifted. Kher Ridges is in Dominaria. Besides, it doesn't look like a spirit dragon to me.
