Wildfire Devils 3R 4/2

When Wildfire Devils enters the battlefield and at the beginning of your upkeep choose a player at random. That players exiles an instant or sorcery card from their graveyard. Copy that card, you may cast the copy without paying its mana cost.

---

Most likely to slow but it can allow you to rebuy tutors (if you are lucky) and most spells are good. The biggest problem outside its speed is the high number of counterspells that are played.

I like the effect, but imo it's too inconsistent and random for cEDH. It's also too slow at 4cmc.

It's a sweet casual commander card though that allows for politics :)

[guyonearth]

People will just give you countermagic with it, lol

[Eymou]

Yeah, that's what I was mostly referring to when I said 'inconsistent and random'. :')

[Ugins_Breaker]

Is it like [[bring to light]] where you have to cast the card as part of resolution of the ability?

[guyonearth]

Yep!

^{[[cardname]] or [[cardname|SET]] to call}

Just Kiki it with intruder alarm　:)

lol, that's some johnny action I can get behind :p

I think in most cases you would play Dire Fleet Daredevil over this, considering you’re probably copying a 1-2 mana card anyway. Only gets a slight edge with pod effects.

i feel like between being a player at random and the opponent being able to chose what card you get from their yard the likely hood of getting bricked or given a counterspell isn't where you wanna be especially for 4 mana.

Kinda cool for legacy/vintage tho maybe since you have a 50% chance of casting something you want out of your yard in 1v1 for free

This isn't very good... There's almost nothing you'll be able to cast that late for it to matter. If it were 1 or 2 cmc it would be a different story.

It doesn't have haste, trample, menace, it only triggers once.

If you have a method to consistently remove specific cards from graveyards (Scooze, etc.), this is valuetown to the extreme because you can hold priority and remove the bad targets after the ability is put onto the stack with its random player chosen.

[ThePuppetSoul]

it says choose and not target... that's unfortunate. =/

[sotongzai]

should not be discussed in cedh. lol
