I'm not seeing how this card is any different than Threaten, except for the word order.

Flavor wise, Threaten only makes sense if your using it on a intelligent creature; one that can be forced to do something because they value thier life, or something of that matter. But it doesn't make any sense when you threaten something like an Enormous Baloth that can't even understand reason or language. Act of Treason works better because its unleashing the inner chaos that exists within all beings.

I like this new card... a way to control a creature is not really bad for red cards... but i would much prefer to use Slave of Bolas than this one... ul sacrifice the creature with Slave of Bolas rather than return it to the owner after ur turn... but with the proper deck build, Act of Treason can give high advantage...

Has anyone noticed the thing floating above the angel's head looks a lot like Oblivion Crown?

Nothing new, but at least you can have more red cards to control opponent creatures, not only 4 if it is the case...

So they souped up Ray of Command and gave it to red (obviously they did this before with Threaten)? What did blue get in return? (tip: it had counterspell's mana cost increased by one with Cancel)

Treason is Red, Threaten sounds like something Black would do.

I don't think this should have less stars than Mark of Mutiny. Also, I agree with Kitsune. Threaten= {B} ; Treason= {R} . Maybe that's part of the reason they renamed the card?
In the right deck this works quite well. There are plenty of tournament-level RDW decks that run this.

pffft... 2R for a spell that allows you to snag one of your opponents guys and beat him with it? AND it has great art? Where do I sign up?
For truly awful antics, combine it with black and hit it with Soul Exchange after you're done killing him, LOL.

Rather than blab about combos etc etc, this card is simply just great if you're running a Goblin aggro deck and need to pave the way for a Warren Instigator. Run some Lightning Bolts and Goblin Shortcutter's and you're sure to get a hit in and lay down some Siege-Gangs!

OMFG that is the best art ever! An angel with red eyes about to strike a human in the back, simply awesome! The effect is nice too 5/5!

This has served me so well. Stolen countless game-winning creatures with this. One time someone had no mana for 5 turns and discarded all their rare/mythic rare creatures and on turn 6 played a swamp, 2 dark rituals and cast Living Death and put down a Xathrid Demon, Royal Assassin, Wrexial, the Risen Deep and a bunch of other nasties. Next turn I cast Act of Treason on his Wrexial, the Risen Deep and attacked him with it and cast his living death from his graveyard returning everything to his graveyard and bringing everyone elses creatures back. Made my day :)

Ok i undestand when you control target creature, equipment and auras becomes detached, but what happens with those auras? they just go to the graveyard?? if that's the case, Sacred Assault becomes useless against 4 of this

Um...Vol...What if there's genuinely nothing for someone to be angry about, even from their own perspective? What can possibly conjure rage THEN? (Really, as far as I can tell, rage is BY DEFINITION reactive. Vol seems to be championing some sort of PROactive rage, which doesn't make any sense to me.)
