Potential Deck Placement:

• Would fit well in a naya (red-green-white) midrange or aggro deck, where its high power and vigilance would be most effective.
• Could also be included in eleven tribal decks that can afford the three-color mana base.

The Flavor Text and Art Effectively Depict the Character As a Daring and Intimidating Individual, Complementing Its Aggressive Nature.

Overall impression:
Brazen Upstart is a strong creature for its cost, but its low toughness and restrictive mana requirements may limit the types of decks that would because to include it. Nonethless, its vigilance and Death trigger ability make it an appealing option for decks that can accommodate its color requirements.
