"Hey, where are you going?" -- Mountain Goat

Also, trample on a {U}{R} creature? Funky.

Runechanter's Pike on a body without the first strike. Definite Modern potential.

This can jump right into the izzet blitz shell right alongside best buddies Guttersnipe and Young Pyromancer.

I think the main flavor for Chimeras is "WTF?"

Very strong card, can quickly get annoying in Izzet.

Cause my Wee dragonauts need more aerial support, that's why.

This is easily one of the best uncommons in the set. VERY sweet.

@YoungSloshee: Trample is secondary in Red.

Goin RIGHT in my Izzet deck. Time to find a better place for the Dracogenius and my Aetherling.

finally an instant/sorcery lurgoyf, most of the other goyfs only work on one super-type...

I love Izzet, and this is just wonderful. Just keeps getting better as the game goes on.

"What is the best possible low cmc finisher we could print for counter burn?"

"Spellheart Chimera Sir, without a doubt."

"Print it."

I have a UR Modern tempo deck, and proxied this guy in. He was easily coming down as a 4/3 on turn three, and when I untapped with him late in the game he would win me games that I had no right winning.

4.5/5 for being a giant beatstick in the right deck.

doesn't die if the GY gets exiled by Scav Ooze. Tramples. Flies. 3 CMC. Is an UNCOMMON.

i love how the colored feathers on the wings go with the symbols in the mana cost

Imagine swinging with this guy after casting Epic Experiment. WE HAVE CREATED THE GREATEST OF ALL CHIMERAS!

This could fit well into a deck with Spellbound Dragon. You'll want to be discarding high cost instants/sorceries like Dragonstorm or Cruel Ultimatum anyway, so your Chimera will have plenty of graveyard fodder.

Looks like Ral Zarek's been to Theros lately, because this is very, very Izzet.

I dislike that it doesn't have several heads, but it's a cool creature, nonetheless.

Reminds me of my first rare: Magnivore. Good times, good times. Had no idea how the *s worked at the time.

I can see this being pretty good in Standard. It didn't do much for me in the pre-release though, and I was running 10 instants and sorceries, which I'd say is quite a few in sealed.

It's a flying goat!


Man I totally thought this was a rare. Too distracted by the goat!

If it has red and blue in its cost it had better be bloody mental...and just after Rest in Peace cycles out - oh, it hasn't? Better hang onto that counterspell...

Why do Izzet end up getting all the interestingly build-able stuff at the three-drop slot? Wee Dragonauts, Nivix Cyclops, this, even supporting spells like Electrolyze.

Finally- an even more competitive finisher than Cognivore.

Only played with the new deck someone helped me make once. Had a friend play against me with a deck just mills. He just kept milling me, and milling me, and milling me. Then I dropped two Spellheart Chimeras on him. The look on his face was epic. 13 spells and sorceries in my graveyard. :D
