Mono-red Lava Axe that can potentially be bigger and damage creatures as well.

Apart from not being able to hit multiple targets, this card can be strictly better than fireball in mono-red.
Where fireball would do 4 damage this would do 5, not to mention if you have MORE than five mountains this card wouldn't require you tap those. A decent card altogether. 4/5

The big question, though, is whether to use this or Unstable Footing.

At first, I thought this was a pretty cool card because it's blaze + 1. However, that only works if all of your lands in play are mountains, which often isn't the case (because most of the time you aren't playing monored or you have nonbasics like teetering peaks in play)

Yes, this does more damage than fireball late game. However, WTF IS WRONG WITH YOUR DECK IF YOU CAN'T KILL AN OPPONENT BEFORE YOU HAVE 5 MANA? THIS IS MONO RED! ALL PLAYERS SHOULD BE DEAD BEFORE THIS CARD CAN BE USED!

M10 has an instant for 3 that does the same thing, and 10th edition has a sorcery for 2 that does this. Still, funny flavor text.

great finisher, superior to seismic strike because it can target players

Obviously powerful, really strong finisher and/or creature removal for mono red. I've enjoyed pulling this card every time it has come off the deck.

4.5/5

This is pretty much unplayable outside of mono red. But in mono red, this is a great finisher and a good card to top off the mana curve.
