Back when I wasn't great at drafting, I put THREE of these into a mono-black Future Sight draft deck. I don't know if I won a single game that night.

Better than it looks. It will work in a madness/unearth deck. put it on a creature with flying or fear.

Use this with Hellbent abilities. It's a great way to get extra lands out of your hand when you're stuck with 3 or so lands in ur hand and nothing else to play.

I guess by the time your hand is inevitably gone, you can safely play Burning Enquiry and just discard what you get to pump your creature, while your opponent has to discard.

Often poor, but it is a must-have for most hellbent/madness decks.

eh, at least it's cheap and has flash?...
It's okay in a Hellbent/Madness/Unearth/reanimator deck, though :P

I built a combo deck around this.

Hope that they don't reprint it though. :P

@Gwafa_Hazid: You can't discard the cards drawn by Burning Inquiry to this. You have to draw the three, and immediately discard three as part of the spell resolving. You don't get priority at any time.

Should just say "enchanted creature becomes a wild mongrel. Sure it wont be changing colors, but that's a secondary ability in any case.

I always thought that this would have been better without flash and if it added +2/+2 for each card discarded.

wow, i'm the first one on here to say that the art is AMAZING! there is something deeply primal and passionate that i somehow relate to when i take a look at the art.

This+Tamiyo's emblem+unblocked creature= the stupidest win ever.

Put this on a Griselbrand in EDH once. Shenanigans ensued.

I'd trade Flash for some sort of Hellbent ability. Because Flash really doesn't seem useful. Like, at all.

Art is disturbing

Y'all are overlooking one huge thing: it's a free discard engine that's cheap and can be played at instant speed. The way I see it, the only downside is that there needs to be a creature on the battlefield.

Works great (if somewhat clunkily) with Sphinx's Revelation as a finisher
