So, when playing this card, it would only affect the creatures already on the battlefield and NOT create a constant-state effect to give creatures that come into play AFTER the spell was played haste, right? If it did, I believe this would definitely increase the playability. Such as an enchantment that cost one Red, has the same text as Burst of Speed, but with the caveat "Sacrifice this permanent at the end of turn".

If only it was a cantrip...and no, creatures played after this don't get haste. Only those in play at the time of the spell's resolution. It's better than the old R Instant: Target creature gains haste until end of turn, I guess. I still like Fervor and Madrush Cyclops better.

This is a great card! The CC1 drastically changes how good it is, remember how everyone loved Clout of the Dominus when it first came out? Especially in a red deck this wins, millions of CC1 goblins or maybe a 6/6 now with Haste. Are you really that afraid of wasting 1?
By the way, if I play Burst of Speed and then play a creature, does that creature have Haste?

Unplayable. Could be much more exciting and playable, yet not broken, as an instant.

Could swing with a Hand of Emrakul on turn three? I dunno.

Pretty much makes Surge of Zeal obsolete... same cost of {R} and unless you're playing Two-Headed Giant (or other multiplayer format) in which case you may want to use Surge of Zeal to target a creature and thus give all other creatures (opponents / allies included) haste.

If this had rebound, and was shuffled back into your library instead of discarded, this would be playable.

I always thought this wasn't that great, but I am actually creating a Naya-type deck with Midnight Guard, Presence of Gond, and this, along with some Naya staples. This card isn't too good, except when you need to win the turn of... Say mass token generation? I dunno it might play out well, might not, better cards definitely, but it does serve a real nice purpose.
