Red finally needs a good ritual that can be cast on two mana. This is a tier 1 constructed card for sure.

Yay! Dragonstrom can survive one more rotation now that it's lacking Rite of Flame.

Yeah because we have never had anything like This Card before...

I like fun, but competitive decks.  So I might not play what is optimal but they have normally been tested to have a 2/3 winrate.

Then it will turn out to have been a safe call by WOTC to print this.

Strictly worse than Desperate Ritual, too. But it is cool to have the effect, anyway. It's fun to play your cards earlier than normal.

sorry but no, storm cannot survive on the back of a single ritual and a soon to leave lotus bloom. i think it would have been better to incorporate the ritual in a different kind of deck, specially seeing as how those decks are very much dead now. i'm much happier when you go the spike way, just remaking some old decks kind of takes away the fun out of the article. 

would have been great to see a deck based around one of the titans

Nice to see some combo pieces back in standard, but it will take a combo with going for to really get the archetype back into the mix.
