About Fire Servant

Fire Servant, Creature — elemental, designed by Ryan Yee first released in Jul, 2010 in the set Magic 2011 and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.42.

A deck that focuses on red instant and sorcery spells, particularly those that deal damage, would benefit from including Fire Servant in their strategy. This card can significantly amplify the damage output of such spells, making it a powerful addition to burn or aggro decks. While Fire Servant can be effective in certain situations, there are potentially better options like Torbran, Thane of Red Fell, which provides a similar effect along with additional benefits such as boosting all red sources of damage. Ultimately, the decision to include Fire Servant in a deck would depend on the specific strategy and synergies of the deck in question.

Rules

08/15/10

Fire Servant’s ability applies no matter who or what the damage would be dealt to: a creature, a player, or a planeswalker.

08/15/10

If multiple effects modify how damage will be dealt, the player who would be dealt damage or the controller of the permanent that would be dealt damage chooses the order to apply the effects. For example, Mending Hands says, “Prevent the next 4 damage that would be dealt to any target this turn” and Lava Axe is a red sorcery that says “Lava Axe deals 5 damage to target player or planeswalker.” Suppose a Lava Axe controlled by a player who controls Fire Servant would deal 5 damage to a player who has cast Mending Hands targeting themselves. The player who would be dealt damage can either (a) prevent 4 damage first and then let Fire Servant’s effect double the remaining 1 damage, taking 2 damage, or (b) double the damage to 10 and then prevent 4 damage, taking 6 damage.

08/15/10

If you control more than one Fire Servant, the effects are cumulative. Two such effects will cause damage from red instant or sorcery spells you control to be multiplied by four; three such effects will cause damage from red instant or sorcery spells you control to be multiplied by eight.
