Fiery Temper

Fiery Temper was originally introduced in the Torment expansion of Magic: The Gathering in 2002. As a card that allows players to deal damage to any target while offering a reduced cost if discarded, it became a staple for aggressive red decks that utilize discard outlets. The Friday Night Magic 2016 promotional version was released as a participation prize for players attending sanctioned local events, featuring updated border art and a distinct foil finish characteristic of the promotion's aesthetic.

This specific printing was illustrated by Johannes Voss, a long-standing artist for the game known for his expressive, vibrant style. In this iteration, Voss aimed to capture the visceral intensity of the spell, moving away from the more literal interpretations found in earlier printings. The card was well-received by the player base, as the Friday Night Magic program traditionally rewards community engagement with aesthetic variants of functional, tournament-relevant cards.
