Fast Forward

Strategy & Gameplay

Fast Forward is a compelling red sorcery from The Misfits Collection that offers excellent utility in multiplayer and aggressive strategies where forcing opponents' creatures into combat becomes a primary tactical advantage. The card's cost reduction mechanic makes it exceptionally efficient in decks built around attacking multiple opponents, with the mana cost dropping by one for each opponent you've attacked during the turn, potentially reducing the full casting cost of four red mana to nearly free if you've mounted a sufficiently aggressive early offense. The core ability to goad all enemy creatures ensures that on the next turn cycle, your opponents' defensive blockers become forced attackers, unable to target you while doing so, which fundamentally disrupts their board stability and forces them to deal combat damage to each other in multiplayer formats rather than to you. This card excels in Gruul-based Commander decks, particularly those helmed by aggressive creature-focused commanders or those built around group slug strategies that reward attacking multiple players. It synergizes beautifully with deck archetypes that feature go-wide strategies, token generation, and early aggressive creature deployment. Fast Forward is tournament-legal in Legacy, Vintage, Commander, Oathbreaker, and Duel Commander, making it versatile across competitive and casual formats. Players seeking this card want a way to control the game flow while leveraging their own aggressive strategy, making it invaluable for turning the tide in multiplayer games and punishing opponents who've overextended their board presence.
