Burning away all the comments —Jan. 13, 2015
I prefer Dragon's Claw to Soulfire Grand Master as it's much harder to deal with and is basically an instant win in the mirror matchup, and helps significantly against Delver.

vishnarg, that's the issue I have with Soulfire Grand Master. She can be easily removed. Kor Firewalker and Dragon's Claw are both difficult to be removed by the matchups they would come in against. Typically, the mirror match can't deal with either one of them. The firewalker though does give me a basically invincible 2/2 body against burn, but he's harder to cast.

I' not so sure. You already have 11 creatuers, they'll be pretty panicked to bolt you goblin guides and swiftspears. In any given game dragons claw will gain 4 or 5 life. Even if soulfire survives one turn while they're out of removal, you gain something like 8 life. Also the big thing I'm thinking about here is non red aggro decks and random creature decks. Dragon claw does nothing. If there is a lot of burn in your meta, I'd go dragons claw. Delver, zoo or creature decks, grand master.

Eh, true, freyhackbarth. I'll still consider her but not at the price she's at right now.

freyhackbarth, that's a pretty good idea to use the geist against sanctity. I'll definitely be trying to get a hold of 2 or 3 or those. Soulfire Grand Master definitely is better than the firewalker; however, she can be bolted and she'll be costing $25 at the release of FRF. I'll still be keeping her in the maybeboard as a possible sideboard option. Btw, I just updated the deck to be Jeskai now.
