4/2 for 3 mana was always pretty decent (combined, say, with Chimeric Idol, though that could be too many 3-drops); with mana burn gone this becomes a real house for its mana cost even without anything to combine it with. However, since it's now only legal in Legacy and Vintage, and and even with the new rules it's not powerful enough to make an impact in those formats, this newfound power is likely to go unappreciated.

Ugly, ugly art, though.

4/2 for 2 isn't bad, but the art is too ugly to be playable

Some of the worst art on any magic card.

Honestly, the ability is meh when you think about it. I'm not an expert on red, but I've seen from experience that unless you're playing dragons, you're going to have untapped lands late game, and early-mid games, its usually wise to leave land untapped to burn something when it comes into play.

2/5

I don't like the ability because it's trying to encourage you to tap out early... which you should never do under ordinary circumstances.

The art isn't that bad guys, compare to something like Aven Trooper. Not everyone can be Rebecca Guay or Chippy.

I would rather not have to keep my lands tapped for a meager 4/3 for 3 CMC

If this guy got reprinted, it would make an okay draft pick i think.

Also i don't know what problem some people are having with the artwork, i consider this 'ugly cute'.

Yeah, prophecy was pretty poorly designed, wasn't it?
