About Scorch Rider

Scorch Rider, Creature — human warrior, designed by Andrey Kuzinskiy first released in Sep, 2020 in the set Zendikar Rising. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.27.

This card would be beneficial in a red aggressive deck that focuses on quick creature deployment and attacking early in the game. While Scorch Rider's ability to gain haste when kicked can provide a burst of damage, there are better options available such as Goblin Guide or Monastery Swiftspear which offer more consistent and impactful early-game pressure. Scorch Rider could see play in specific budget or theme decks, but in competitive settings, it may not be the optimal choice.

Rules

09/25/20

An ability that triggers when a player casts a kicked spell resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger, but after targets have been chosen for that spell. It resolves even if that spell is countered.

09/25/20

If you put a permanent with a kicker ability onto the battlefield without casting it, you can’t kick it.

09/25/20

Kicker represents an optional additional cost that you may choose to pay as you cast the spell. A spell cast with that additional cost paid is “kicked.”

09/25/20

To determine a spell’s total cost, start with the mana cost (or an alternative cost if another card’s effect allows you to pay one instead), add any cost increases (such as kicker), then apply any cost reductions. The converted mana cost of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.
