My powers of premonition must be in full effect this set, I do believe that I predicted there would be a rebel Lust in this set, and sure enough, we are graced with one today.

While this card doesn't seem that spectacular, I for one seriously enjoy it. If the card could not boost itself, it would be pretty lackluster, but being a 4 cost ally with a 2.0 ratio of cost to attribute ratio WITH a good effect is unheard of. Getting plus 2 to on attribute usually costs you 6 strength with Expertise, however here, its available in the form of any card from your hand.

In sealed, this card is next to none in terms of power. Its 5 cost for out of faction is easy to deal with, and can make this ally a monster to deal with early. In constructed, its a good mid-cost ally that can be dropped with other allies early, or if you use Infamous Outcast, this card only costs 3. While rebels usually don't need 4 cost allies, its not a bad one.

Sealed 5/5: You pull this ally, you use it.
Constructed 4/5: I like this ally a lot, you should at least try it a few times.

Lust, Doomed to Die

I just wish she was called Scar's Secret Lust or something ;)
Finaly, a Rebel faction Lust. But its based off Ishbalites, also known as a group of small allies. Unfortunatly, the only other pump for Ishbalites sacrifices them. So this isn't a bad Ishbal pump, but its another small ally. The card is kind of disapointing, but the fact that they made her Human form is a cool idea. I'm sure Ishbalites will be a decktype, but I don't see it happening until another series run.

Limited: 5/5
at 4 cost, being a potential 6/4/0, 4/6/0, or 4/4/2, shes darn good. Plus if you have other Ishbalites they can be pumped.
Constructed: 2/5
Good for new players who don't have anything else to use, but until Ishbalites get awesome support, this thing won't be in real decks.
Picture (Chase): 1/5
Bah I say! I hope the non-chase has a close up picture of her :)

Short review today but let’s take a look at the newest SDS spoiler, Lust, Doomed to Die. In sealed this card is great. Low cost ally that any leader can recruit at level one and it also has an effect that at the very least gives her the potential to have a 6/6/2 combine it with some of the other zealot Ishbalites and you’ll have a potential +2 pump every turn.
 
I see this card seeing play in a lot of Zealot decks for constructed due to the low cost and good effect. The only downside I see is while the effect is good, ideally you don’t want to be pitching cards every turn to use it.
 
Pros:
-Low cost
-Built-in pumps are fun
 
Cons:
-Pitching cards is always a costly effect
 
Sealed:4/5-From the spoilers so far, I see this going in many sealed decks.
Constructed:4/5-It can even see play in some rebel mob decks.
