Vexing devil's synergy with {grim lavamancer} makes me ignore all of the doubting. Even if an opponent has a kill spell and let's him live, I'd rather they use the spell on my one drop and not my {hellrider}

He essentially IS the burn from Innistrad. Every spell outside of that is pretty lackluster. M13 didnt help either. My color was largely gutted.

What do you mean? We got a new {Incinerate}! Lol
I know what you mean, I love Mono-red, next to Black it's my favorite color to play.

If you look close, {hell rider} and his bird thing are what's being sucked up on {in to the void}

During fnm standard before the m13 prerelease I saw a pretty nasty rdw that had 4 {vexing devil}s in it.  Along with {grim lavamancer}, {stromkirk noble}, and some red 1 drop 1/1 that you could sac to do 3 damage to a player.  {shrine of burning rage} also, and lots of burn! Lol  He did very well.

I got my second playset at the GP antlanta for my legacy burn deck which apparently is very competitive lol I mean I still love him

I really hate to say it but i think ppl have lost there creativity when it comes to building decks, everyone one knows how card prices work. If a card is taking over a tournement it jumps in price. And when ppl see that card winning they think well hey i could build a deck similar to that and make it my own. When really you would have never relisied how good that card was until it won a tourny. Im starting to see a sad pattarn when it comes to how cards are used. Im sure most ppl are using and loving the card very much and other cards alike. But until it wins a tourny magority will not be playing with them.

I never play net decks, and I'll get first, watch.

I have a playset in my Burn deck. Dropping two early game is brutal.

I was at a draft and some kid pulled a sexy devil and nearly won. He only lost because of the lifelink ability of his opponents {Homicidal Seclusion}

While true, very inconsistent.

I love that card when drafting black. It can win you the game since people generally don't play enchant removal.

Thorn

Well I knew how good {homocidal Seclusion} was so I literally picked up two of that destroy an artifact or enchantment gain 3 life card just in case I saw it

Willthomjr

This card was doomed from the get go.

V.D. Is never good

How is it never good? Barring counter magic or prevention shenanigans, it's at least 4 dmg. 4 damage is 4 damage is 4 damage.
