Kiln Fiend

Vanilla Spell Concept

Do you as a designer ever want to create cards like this hypothetical "Vanilla Noncreature Spell" to see if someone can effectively utilize it? Something along the lines of a 0 cost Vanilla Instant in a set with cards like Guttersnipe, Young Pyromancer, Monastery Swiftspear or even Kiln Fiend could be a bizarre but interesting tool.

The problem is it takes up space that can be used to make a card that significantly more people will play with and enjoy.

Birthday Trivia Gift

It's my birthday! May I have some trivia about either Kiln Fiend or Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon?

Kiln Fiend was created to support a blue/red spell-centric draft archetype in Rise of the Ekdrazi. Happy Birthday!
