What Are Red Cards in Edge of Eternities?

Red cards in Edge of Eternities are spells that have a only red in their casting cost.

For this set, red brings a mix of speed, damage, and artifact synergy to the table. Many red cards in EOE interact with warp and landfall, and they reward you when cards enter from exile or when you play lands. You’ll also find robot creatures like scouts and drones that help convert artifacts into cards or extra pressure.

On top of that, red also offers plenty of burn spells and board control to deal damage to opponents or clear threats.

For this list, we’ll go over the cards printed in the following Edge of Eternities products:

• Edge of Eternities (EOE)
• Edge of Eternities: Stellar Sights (EOS)
• Edge of Eternities Commander (EOC)
• Special Guests (SPG)

#30. Red Tiger Mechan

Haste right out of the gate makes Red Tiger Mechan a solid curve‑topper, and the cheap warp cost lets it blink for pseudo‑vigilance or dodge sorcery-speed removal.

#29. Ruinous Rampage

Ruinous Rampage gives you a choice between burning down life totals or clearing out small artifacts, all for just 3 mana. It's a flexible sorcery that can close out games against multiple opponents or dismantle value engines packed with low-cost artifacts like Treasures, Clues, or cheap mana rocks. In Commander or artifact-heavy metas, this card shines as both reach and disruption in one clean package.

#28. Territorial Bruntar

Playing a land with Territorial Bruntar on the field gives you a shot at digging into your deck for a nonland card you can cast that turn—though you’ll still need to pay its mana cost. It’s a solid 6/6 with reach, so it’s a beefy blocker that also helps to refuel your plays each turn. In decks that drop multiple lands per turn or use effects like Cultivate, this Bruntar keeps your hand flowing and your threats coming.

#27. Weftstalker Ardent

Dropping creatures or artifacts becomes a steady source of damage when you have Weftstalker Ardent on the battlefield. This 2/3 drix artificer pings each opponent every time something new enters under your control, so it’s a perfect fit for go-wide or artifact-heavy strategies. Thanks to warp, you can get it on the board early for a quick impact, then cast it again later for lasting pressure. It pairs especially well with token generators or cheap artifact spam.

#26. Zookeeper Mechan

Zookeeper Mechan does double duty as both ramp and a late-game threat enhancer. Early on, it's a solid mana dork that taps for red and helps you to get ahead on tempo. But once you’ve got spare mana, that activation gives one of your creatures a massive +4/+0 boost—perfect for pushing through damage. It may not look flashy at first, but in slower red decks or ones with mana rocks and ramp, this robot becomes a real threat manager.

#25. Slagdrill Scrapper

Slagdrill Scrapper is a handy little utility bot that turns spare artifacts or lands into cards. For just , you get a 1/2 robot scout that can help keep your hand full as long as you have scrap to feed it. Whether you're sacrificing Treasures or even extra lands, this card makes sure nothing goes to waste. It slots nicely into artifact-heavy decks or any red build looking to squeeze value from expendable resources.

#24. Plasma Bolt

For just 1 red mana, Plasma Bolt hits any target for 2—and 3 if something left the battlefield or warped this turn. It’s perfect with sacrifice outlets like Village Rites or warp creatures like Nova Hellkite.

#23. Kav Landseeker

Menace keeps Kav Landseeker pushing damage, and it brings along a temporary Lander token to fetch a basic land next turn—great for smoothing draws in landfall decks starring Moraug, Fury of Akoum.

#22. Drill Too Deep

Choose to slam five charge counters onto a spacecraft or planet you control, or simply shatter an artifact with Drill Too Deep. Charging up Warmaker Gunship in one shot feels fantastic, but flexible artifact removal never hurts.

#21. Memorial Team Leader

During your turn, Memorial Team Leader acts like a red anthem effect that gives the rest of your squad +1/+0, and warp lets it pop in for surprise alpha strikes. It shines with go‑wide plans that feature Young Pyromancer tokens.

#20. Evendo Brushrazer

Whenever you sacrifice something, Evendo Brushrazer rewards you by exiling a fresh card to play later, and it even turns lands into double‑red mana. Decks built around Treasure Map or Seize the Spoils will keep the exile pile stocked while fueling Evendo’s own land‑sac ability.

#19. Hammer of Purphoros

Creatures you control pick up haste the moment Hammer of Purphoros lands, and stray lands become 3/3 Golem token buddies with a quick tap‑and‑sac. Put it beside Crucible of Worlds for an endless stream of attackers.

#18. Long‑Range Sensor

It may look unassuming, but Long-Range Sensor racks up charge counters every attack and cashes in two to discover 4 for free. Add extra counters with cards that proliferate like Thrummingbird or Tezzeret's Gambit, then flip into impactful cards.

#17. Memorial Vault

Digging deep is simple when Memorial Vault lets you sacrifice an artifact to exile cards equal to that card's mana value plus 1 and play them this turn. A cheap bauble like Ichor Wellspring becomes a mini‑Light Up the Stage, while big artifacts like Wurmcoil Engine open almost half your deck.

#16. Nova Hellkite

Flying, haste, and a built‑in ping make Nova Hellkite a flashy finisher that can warp in early for surprise damage then return later for a second strike. Pair it with Dragon Tempest to turn every Hellkite appearance into extra damage to the targets of your choice.

#15. Pain for All

Enchant one of your beefy creatures with Pain for All, and it immediately slaps any target with its power; afterwards, any damage it takes ricochets to each opponent. Team it with indestructible bodies like Brash Taunter or damage amplifiers like Torbran, Thane of Red Fell for maximum pain.

#14. Planetary Annihilation

Big and brutal, Planetary Annihilation cuts every player down to six lands and blasts all creatures for 6 damage, wiping boards and mana bases at once. Follow up with mana rocks like Sol Ring to rebuild faster than your shell‑shocked opponents.

#13. Terminal Velocity

Cheat any artifact or creature from hand onto the field with Terminal Velocity; it gains haste, wipes the board when it leaves, and self‑sacs at end step. Dropping Blightsteel Colossus or Triplicate Titan means you get a lethal swing plus a parting gift of damage to everything.

#12. Warmaker Gunship

Entering with a laser‑blast equal to your artifact count, Warmaker Gunship later stations up to become a 4/3 flying threat once it hits six counters. Token‑makers like Pia and Kiran Nalaar pump both their entry damage and station speed in one tidy package.

#11. Weapons Manufacturing

Producing a Munitions token every time a nontoken artifact enters, Weapons Manufacturing turns routine plays into repeatable 2‑damage shocks when those tokens leave. Sac outlets like Krark-Clan Ironworks or Arcbound Ravager guarantee a steady bombardment.

#10. Possibility Technician

With Possibility Technician, every kavu you drop exiles the top card for later play—as long as a kavu sticks around—and the warp cost lets the Technician itself come and go for repeat value. Run it alongside Tannuk, Steadfast Second or classic Flametongue Kavu to keep those exile options flowing.

#9. Chain Reaction

Starting a Chain Reaction is easy: The more critters around, the bigger the boom. This card scales X damage to each creature and mirrors the board’s size, which makes it a flexible sweeper alongside Blasphemous Act for redundancy. Cards that spew tokens like Goblin Rabblemaster can clear blockers while keeping haste attackers ready.

#8. Rust Harvester

A 1‑mana 1/1 with menace, Rust Harvester grows by exiling artifacts from your graveyard, then deals its power as direct damage—think mini‑Walking Ballista on repeat. Self‑mill decks or sacrifice engines with Mishra's Bauble feed it a steady flow of scrap.

#7. Devastating Onslaught

When you need to double or triple down on your best threat, Devastating Onslaught spits out X hasty copies that swing right away before they burn out at end step. Cloning a value engine like Goldspan Dragon showers you in Treasures, while duplicating others along with Purphoros, God of the Forge turns every token into a mini‑meteor shower.

#6. Moraug, Fury of Akoum

Moraug, Fury of Akoum returns here as a reprint from the Commander set, bringing that wild extra-combat energy familiar to red. While landfall isn't a full-blown theme in Edge of Eternities or the World Shaper precon, it shows up just enough to make Moraug shine. Each land that enters gives you another combat phase and untaps your team, and Moraug even pumps your creatures with another +1/+0 for every combat.

#5. Blasphemous Act

Another reprint from Edge of Eternities Commander for when the table just needs a reset, Blasphemous Act does it on a budget—its cost drops to a single red mana when the board is full, then it deals 13 to every creature. Combine it with Stuffy Doll or Spiteful Sliver to turn all that damage into a win condition instead of a wipe.

#4. Chaos Warp

Unexpected answers are red’s specialty, and with a new art, Chaos Warp shuffles any troublesome permanent away to replace it with a mystery prize. Most of the time it's a land, though.

#3. Depthshaker Titan

Slamming Depthshaker Titan transforms all your trinkets into 3/3 trampling, hasty beaters that hit like trucks thanks to melee. Animate a pile of Treasures or Clues, then swing wide. You already have plenty of artifacts to weaponize when you pair it with Sai, Master Thopterist.

#2. Magus of the Moon

Magus of the Moon is a classic mana hate creature that turns every nonbasic land into a plain old Mountain, which can completely wreck opponents that rely on fancy mana bases. It’s a longtime staple in Legacy mono-red stompy decks, where it locks out greedy mana bases while your own basics keep things smooth. This version even features brand-new art as a Special Guest, giving a fresh look to a timeless red staple.

#1. Tannuk, Steadfast Second

Tannuk, Steadfast Second jumps straight to business by giving the whole squad haste and letting your artifacts and red creatures warp in for a discount and come back for more later. A warped Flametongue Kavu can blast a blocker, disappear, and return next turn for an encore, perfect for ETB shenanigans. Some people even have called it the creature version of Sneak Attack.

Wrap Up

Overall, while Edge of Eternities gives us a few standout red cards—like the reprint of Magus of the Moon for MTGA and a fresh take on Sneak Attack in the form of Tannuk, Steadfast Second, most of the rest feel a bit too niche or underpowered. That’s not to say they’re unplayable, but many of EOE’s red cards seem more geared toward specific themes than broad impact. Given that the real highlight of the set is its land cycle, it makes sense that the rest takes a step back. It’s a fine showing for red, just not a fiery one.
