This is way too good as it's an unstoppable 3 damage every turn

Rekindled Flame was 2RR (and 4 damage) and triggered on your opponent being Hellbent. The last part being the most important - being forced to sandbag a land is very different to being domed for three every turn. Needs tweaking?

Turning it into a Death Spark kind of card. Initial idea was to have something useful to discard to all the red looting that wasn't just a madness spell

I had the same idea with my "put into a graveyard from anywhere" creatures since I've never really liked Madness as an ability. I like the new version of this card. Seems much more fair

Tidying up templating

Extra answers to Flayed Sentry and Great Tower Bat?

Templating fix

Has anyone played this yet? As an answer to Great Tower Bat it's probably nailed on.

I was sorely tempted to take it in the draft last night, as it looks like it would be great in the looting deck, but I took something else that I can't remember. I like that this does two things in once card (removal / looting support) which is vital considering the tiny space we have for uncommons.

Probably one of the three R uncommon noncreatures.

I think this probably has to go. not because it's bad, but because Red has far too many one-damage effects. Goblin Archer & Mind-Broken Mage are competing at uncommon and Pageflame is in at common.
