Ugh, in a format with a deck that already creates 20+ mana by turn 5 or 6. MGD Splash Black for This, NewSidisi, and Doomwakes in the board.

I'm gonna bring it back. I'm finally bringing Mono Green Devotion out of retirement.

Literally running black for Doomwakes and Damnable Pact.

When was the last red ritual printed? Is Wotc still okay w/ them?

Because this would be kinda cool:

T1 mountain #1, Swiftspear
T2 mountain #2, Desperate Ritual, into second Swiftspear, into DR, into Titan Strength, into Temur Battle Rage on the first Swiftspear

Defiant Strike and Dragon Mantle also help

Kind of like a combat based storm deck (very loosely speaking)

Pyretic Ritual In m11.

The megamorph cycle is now complete.

Seems pretty lame compared to the others really, with the worst body and a rather conditional effect. I guess it might replace Reclamation Sage when it rotates.

This card is ... Fine. Might see a little play down the line, feels like no though.

I think Den Protector is actually the member of that cycle. It's rare and has an ability aside from the megamorph stuff, like the others.

This is basically just Nantuko Vigilante, which was actually a reasonable card for a little while there, until Darksteel came out...

I'm just sort of glad they didn't completely forget about the cool Tibetan mastiff breed of Ainok, after they only had one card in KTK and only an alternate version of that card with FRF.

If the lifeloss counts with Soulfire Grand Master's Instant/sorcery lifelink, it might as well be printed as: "you draw x cards"

Also, this will go great in my mill EDH deck.

Right I got confused, just saw the 1A cost, 2/1, megamorph for fairly cheap and "+1 when this card flips up" and assumed it fitted. I forgot about Den Protector.

Oh poo poo, actual good red card draw.

Holy gently caress. And it's instant speed. This is literally a Topdeck of the Century card for Mono Red in the late game. You just drop it for all of your mana EoT and just go hard or go home, I love it.

Instant and "until the end of your next turn" make this awesome. Red's moving on up in the card draw world.
