Why is Firedrinker Satyr honestly used in decks? Is there a reason other than it being a R 2/1 ?
In aggro decks, you don't care about your life total, so long as your opponents is lower. Plus a turn 1 {Firedrinker Satyr} and turn 2 {Madcap Skills} is quite powerful. Think about the turn 3 pump and {Boros Charm} for double strike....
Yet rakdos cackler is still better, theres a lot of aggro so in a racey game firedrinker pretty much solidifies yor loss

Never thought about madcap skills on it. Formidable, but I honestly think there are better turn 1 plays. Like soldier of the pantheon, for example. 2/1, life gain, agrro, and chump block if needed.
Well to be fair i never see firedrinker satyr in decks(well veeerry rarely)
Some people just seem to think they can make him work
But it's pump ability gives you something to do with your mana (because you usually don't play to many things over 3), allowing you to maximize your mana and damage. I honestly don't like it either, but I can see the rationale behind using it.
Ill probably make an izzet aggro with him soon to be fair its just not a popular card

At GP Cincinati i saw someone use Domri to fight a monsterous Arbor Colossus against a Firedrinker Satyr. It was a GG
