Pick rating

4.0WeakRank 264 of 302

A good playable, but is sometimes cut (4.0/10).

Why. A two-mana artifact that makes red spells cost one less. In a heavily red deck it speeds up your curve.

Risks. It does nothing on its own, and every non-red spell stays at the same price. It is rarely worth it in draft.

In the draft. Leave it except in a mono-red deck. A last-pack pick.
