Prophetic Flamespeaker

Would love to slap a Sword on this guy, especially of the Feast and Famine variety.  Untapping lands to cast spells sounds good to me? (Double strike untapping twice, so you can cast an instant in between first strike damage and normal damage!)

Kinda agreeing with this sentiment though:

When I cast a 3 mana card I want to lock down the game (Moon effects) or get the card I want immediately (Imperial) rather than waiting for a turn.

Even the "mighty" True-name nemesis has some of the same issues in vintage because it does neither of these things.

TNN suffers this because he is a "vanilla beater". All he does is beat. This guy does a little more than that.

Sick list Josh. Nice run with the deck. Anything you would change?

[oshkoshhaitsyosh]

No major changes in the plans. It felt great other then some blowout hands by opponents haha. I cant wait to run it again!

Nice to see the card doing well. I really think Humans is it's home (or at least one of it's homes). I will be playing this deck, since I'm pretty much in love with Flamespeaker right now. Great job!

Played the card in a iteration of 5c Humans, if he hits the field, he usually wins the game. I'm still not sold on how to properly include him in the deck though.
