One of the best cards of the set! Scry 2 is so nice.

Welcome back! :)

Scry 2 takes a mediocre burn spell and moves it straight into awesome territory.

Guess I can finally get Magma Jets for less than a dollar now. Sweet.

YOU HAVE RETURNED AT LAST. And with incredible art, to boot.

Newer players might be fooled and think the 1 extra damage provided by Searing Spear (w/e its reprint is called) might make that card better, but the ability to bottom those extra lands you'd be drawing in your aggressive deck is invaluable. There's a reason some modern burn decks play this.

The mark on her tabard looks like Avacyn's Collar.

Likely gonna see the mainboard of my gruul standard deck. While I prefer Mizzium Mortars' straight up power for removal (2 extra punching power and 4 extra mana punches through hexproof), the flexibility of being able to burn someone's face and scry for 2 is fantastic.

Plays well with Firedrinker Satyr.

"Hey guys I'm here for the Avacyn restored set and I brought a neat flame spell to- Hey where's all the angels everybody? Hello?"

Efficient enough and Scry 2 gives many more options than just Scry 1. 4/5.

Red just should not have library manipulation, 6/5

And alas, we have more lost Avacyn Restored art.

I can't wait to start slinging this around in standard.

So, damn, good. Love the new artwork too. Scry 2 in Red you have to realize is very powerful. 4.5/5

I run four in my vintage burn deck:

Orodruin
1 Wheel of Fortune
4 Ball Lightning
4 Chain Lightning
4 Fireblast
4 Flame Rift
4 Flamebreak
4 Lava Spike
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Magma Jet
4 Rift Bolt
4 Searing Blaze

2 Scalding Tarn
17 Mountain

60 Total

It's helped innumerable times to get out of land messes.

I can't believe WotC opted to lose any Justin Sweet art, though. Bad idea, IMHO.

*Eh, hem!* Technically, magma becomes lava when it reaches the earth's surface so I'm sorry wizards, but you misnamed this card.
Now, being *** aside, I absolutely love this card. It should be a 4 of in every red burn deck in standard hands down. Red is infamous for losing gas inthe late game but between this and the new Chandra, red now has some draw/fixing to use as extra fuel to keep throwing on the fire!

Planeswalker 1 : "Would you consider using shock?"

Planeswalker 2: "Uhh.. I might."

Planeswalker 1: "Would you pay (1) to control the next two cards of your library and lean toward favorable outcomes?"

Planeswalker 2: "..Yea that's really efficient, i'd play that."

Planeswalker 1: "Meet your new girlfriend, Magma 'Joan' Jet."

Gave my U/R deck some much needed "draw" without having to compromise the burn nature of the deck. easily a 4/5.

A perfect example of how a card's value can't be summed up with A+B arguments. Shock is mediocre at Red, and scry 2 for 1 would be pretty bad. (Serum Visions/Preordain without the cantrip.) But having those two effects on one card is great, Its the fact that you're only spending one card for the effect, I run this as a 4 of in my modern Miracle deck, and it is up there near lightning bolt for usefulness. Never make a bad draw again!

God I love Scry. I wasn't into to Magic (or even aware of it at the time) when Scry originally existed. The return of it has made me a believer and I want more of it for my R/U combo deck I'm working on.
