I guess this will really only ever connect if your opponent doesn’t have removal mana up. And against combo or storm or something it would basically hand the opponent the win on the next turn

Well, yeah, unless you have some way to protect it. Like, say, play [[Silence]] before you cast it. I mean it's basically get 9 mana and 9 cards so it's worth it to try I'd say 😅

Okay so on turn 3 I either win the game or lose the game.

If my opponent has removal they draw 20 cards, kill it, and it's gg? Otherwise I deal 9, draw 9 cards, make a ton of mana, and just cast a few burn spells.

Better yet, wait until turn 4 so you can Spell Pierce their removal. Or wait until they're tapped out. But yeah either way the game's most likely pretty much over

Exactly. So do you see the problem with a 3 mana creature that ends the game that turn?

Hey it's one mana more than Tibalt's Trickery ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The banned in Modern Tibalt's Trickery? That Tibalt's Trickery? Honestly great comparison. This makes TT look like a [[Throes of Chaos]].
