Stoke the Flames

is stoke expensive for anything outside of standard? I want to have some for casual but I don't want to spend money on an uncommon where I could wait. I don't know eternal formats super well but I don't think stoke is prominent in them. Can I rely on the price dropping after it rotates?

Stoke the Flames is not seeing any competitive play outside of Standard.

It'll plummet, don't worry. It's great in Standard but honestly I don't think it has great playability in other formats. I could be wrong, so it might do to look into the card a bit.

UR Delver COULD run it, but it would rely too heavily on using Young Pyromancer tokens for effective play. I don't see it breaking into any of the Eternal formats any time soon.

'Lil Pyro is just about the only card I see harnessing it effectively outside Standard, but that would hardly be format-breaking.

Yeah, the most eternal play I expect this to see is a standard player transitioning into modern and being like "Hmm...these were really good in standard...and with Young Pyromancer it would be awesome!" then everyone will laugh until he ends up winning. So, basically my answer was no. Wait till rotation and you can pick it up super cheap.
