Browbeat

Sorcery

Any player may have Browbeat deal 5 damage to him or her. If no one does, target player draws three cards.

Forgive me if this is too repetitive:

Red has long gotten what are sometimes called 'Choice' cards, sometimes called 'Punisher' cards depending on who you're talking to, and Combustion Man is one of them. They're normally pie breaks that Red would LOVE to have, such as Skullscorch, Browbeat, Risk Factor, Breaking Point, and Vexing Devil (playable ones I can think of). It's mostly a Red identity at this point, and it still gets support. FWIW most of these are also below normal cost for the effect, at least for the period of play they were in Standard. They are often Timmy type cards, but I have found if you mix them in with the best Burn effects you can find they play better, if people can't afford to lose the life then you can get some pretty sweet upsides. Fortunately none of them are THAT good, and IMHO this isn't changing anything at 5 Mana that Chaos Warp didn't probably do better for only 3, and Wild Magic Surge for only 2. Both have downsides, but this can be ignored for some life, and as Vexing Devil and Browbeat suggest, paying life for a counter is a good deal most of the time (those cards are bad without support IMHO).

Hope this clears things up a bit!

Enchanter's Bane is a very similar effect.

Browbeat as well as Risk Factor show that trading the choice of either damage or a traditionally non-red effect has been part of Red's identity for years.

I put in the Valakut Awakening  Flip for Browbeat but Thrill of Possibility is themed so it stays.

DemonDragonJ on Is Black Allowed to have …

"Punisher" effects, effects that force a player to choose between multiple equally unpelasant options, have been part of this game for many years, and are usually found in black and red, such as Browbeat, Tyrannize, Choice of Damnations, or Painful Quandary, but Mark Rosewater mentioned in these two posts that red is allowed to have "punisher" effects, but that black is not, a philosophy with which I disagree, because black has always been the color that most focuses on cruelty and malice, and there have been two cards in recent sets, Starseer Mentor and Perforating Artist, that have "punisher" effects, so I am wondering what the general opinion of other players is, on this matter.

What does everyone else say, about this subject? Do you believe that black should have "punisher" effects? I certainly am interested to hear your opinions, on this matter.

So why are you playing Browbeat in your commander deck?

I run Browbeat in my rakdos burn/sac deck. Makes for a funny situation lol. Take 5? Ok, just as good as drawing three cards. I draw three for three? Awesome.

All right I updated the deck more over the past while.

Added Feldon's Cane to try to keep a grip on the late game. Took out Book Burning since it seemed to have too little impact on the game, at least compared to other things in the list. Took out Mogg Bombers for Lavaborn Muse for repeatable damage. Still going to keep the two beaters in the deck, but Took out Butcher Orgg for Kamahl, Pit Fighter. The fact he can tap to do a lighting bolt is better than the former. Another addition is Devastating Dreams as the finisher. Cards like Jayemdae Tome and (hopefully) Browbeat will draw me enough cards, and might even luck out & shuffle my graveyard into my libary afterward.

While I do agree with opponents choosing two different options a terrible idea most of the time, the thing is with damage and fairly low cmc means that eventually your opponent will just have to do what I want. It's not like Library of Lat-Nam, where its too expensive to play too much, and it's always going to be the far worse option. Least the way I see it. Also I'm going to replace Dwarven Ruins with Balduvian Trading Post when i can. Thing that sucks is I already ordered the cards before these recent revisions. So I guess I'll live with it until I see one. Same goes for the most of the other replacements.
