What do you guys and gals think of this? I can see this card potentially dealing more than a few points of damage, and the mana cost is certainly aggressive, but does reds tendency for cheaper spells make it too dangerous for the user?
it looks pretty cool in combination with ankh of mishra and winter orb and all those other aggressive denial/punish cards. I'd be willing to try it, since they just don't print cards like this anymore.
Someone else more experienced than me can probably enumerate alternative uses for this card, but my personal experience with it has been as anti-storm hate in legacy. I guess it could be used to really hurt the faster aggro decks.
