Ilharg, the Raze-Boarcheat_into_play$10.12A mono-red creature that cheats permanents onto the battlefield from the library/top-deck style zone, playing a similar big-threat ramp/reanimator role. It also rewards sacrificing or attacking to generate explosive board presence.Mayael the Animacheat_into_play$1.68A classic activated-ability engine that puts large permanents directly onto the battlefield from the top of your library. It fills the same 'pay mana to hit a high-impact nonland permanent' role, though in Naya colors rather than mono-red.Quicksilver Amuletcheat_into_play$2.96A colorless way to put creatures from hand directly onto the battlefield at instant speed. It serves a similar cheat-ramp function, though it is limited to creatures and does not require sacrificing permanents.Thran Temporal Gatewaycheat_into_play$0.45A cheaper artifact engine that puts legendary permanents into play from your hand. It overlaps as a high-impact cheat piece, especially in decks built around expensive legends.Defense of the Heartcheat_into_play$28.09An enchantment that sacrifices itself to tutor creatures directly onto the battlefield, creating a similar one-card burst of board advantage. It is more creature-specific and much easier to convert into a combo finish.Sneak Attackcheat_into_play$10.94A red enchantment that cheats creatures into play for a turn at the cost of mana and sacrifice, matching the explosive red 'big payoff from resources' feel. It is faster and cheaper, but only works on creatures and they are temporary.Purphoros, Bronze-Bloodedcheat_into_play$6.51Another mono-red cheat engine that puts creatures from hand onto the battlefield with a temporary haste-based payoff. It plays a similar role as a powerful red end-step/value enabler for big threats.Keldon Firebombersutility$2.32A sacrifice-focused red creature that can leverage expendable permanents and land/resource disruption into a powerful board swing. While not a direct cheat effect, it occupies a similar high-variance mono-red value slot.
