A few more cards
with the Followthrough mechanic, as well as a Followthrough payoff.

Although we haven't
seen any artifacts yet, Destructive Impulse comes in handy out of the
sideboard. There's about five or six artifacts in the set, and some
of them are extremely powerful. In true WotC style, it's got the new
mechanic of the set tacked on like an afterthought (I think by that
point I was running out of ideas, particularly in Red).
Spark Bug and
Impulsive Jarren (did not notice two Followthrough cards said
"Impulse" in them until I was categorizing cards for this
post) are fun little cards to screw up combat math. One of the things I
was trying to also add, particularly in Red, was mana sinks, though
these are one-shots each turn.
Bite Twice is a
"build around me" style card, where you'd pick it up and
then try to draft every Jeskai Followthrough card you could. It's one
of those cards that looks quite inoccuous on the surface, almost a
bad rare, but it works as a one-drop when one-drops aren't often
found in limited formats, and can accumulate value over time. I
think Aggro Red or Boros wouldn't want this card, but a controlling
Izzet or Jeskai build would find ways to utilize it.
