Tribal Flames

Tribal Flames earns its keep in Modern and Legacy domain decks, where fetch lands and shock lands make hitting all five basic land types by turn two or three routine — at which point it's a two-mana deal-5 at sorcery speed, a rate almost nothing else touches. In Pauper it's legal but domain is harder to assemble on a common-only mana base, so it sees fringe play at best. Commander is the interesting case: five-color commanders and domain-themed builds like those led by Jared Carthalion or Garth One-Eye can reliably hit the full five land types, making Tribal Flames a cheap, scalable burn spell that also doubles as reach for the final points of damage in a politically complicated format where blockers complicate combat.
