I think that Reckless Assault is an excellent and under-appreciated card, but it is rather expensive for what its effect, so I have created a new version that is slightly less expensive, as seen, here:

Fireblood Invocation Show

I reduced the casting cost by 1 mana and the cost of the activated ability by 1 life, which I hope has not made this new enchantment too powerful.

I also have created a creature version of the original enchantment, as seen, here:

Fireblood Invoker Show

I made a creature version of reckelss assault, as I am very fond of creatures, and also feel that the original enchantment simply did not do enough, on its own; I contemplated giving the creature lifelink, to provide life for its ability, but I decided that that likely would have made it too powerful.

What does everyone else say, about these cards? Do you believe that I did a good job, with them? I would certainly appreciate any feedback that anyone here has to offer.

Maybe make the mana cost of the enchantment's activated ability instead of as a limiter on utility, rather than power.

I feel like the 2:1 trade of life for damage is an important ratio to stick with, regardless of CMC or activation cost. Both black and red, in my mind, share the reckless and self-destructive nature that re-enforces the idea that in order to get what you want out, you have to pay extra in. If anything goes unchanged I would vote it would be the 2:1 ratio.
