It's good, but an upgraded Fireball shouldn't be mythic. One step up from uncommon is rare, I can't help but think that this was an excuse to flaunt kicker on a mythic.
4/5. It's just annoying to pull from Worldwake boxes is all.

Saved my ass at the limited prerelease a number of times (pulled one outside of the foil for participation). I underestimated it. I took creatures (Summit apes and 5/2, greenweaver druid at 1/1 and crusher zendikon at 4/2) for six mana. field was wiped for him and I just needed to chip away at him for the win. Maybe won't find a place in constructed outside of casual decks, but its definitely a bomb in limited.

Another and different mean the same. At the very least, you have to alternate between two targets.

If you want to hit the same target twice and take out a ton of other stuff, or just hit a player for 2x, why not just Reverberate?

Still feel that we should of had a different pre-release promo than this and this doesn't exactly deserve mythic status.

This card is boring. Earthquake gets the jobs done much better.
They should not have used up a mythic-slot for this!

It's mythic to keep this from completely blowing up the standard scene. Relax.
Would be nice to see a reprint of Rolling Thunder which in most cases is strictly worse (but possibly more efficient in clearing the board of weenies) and can be a common as it was in Tempest. Power to the masses.

Wow. In a multiplayer game, this card in any infinite mana deck (I'm old school, prefer either the Worldgorger Dragon or Grim Monolith/Power Artifact combos) is quite possibly the greatest kill-card ever printed. Unlike the other instant speed kill cards (so sorry Stroke of Genius, Ghitu Fire, Volcanic Geyser) I can now target an unlimited number of players to all die simultaneously. This is true Mythic Rare power, oh the joy!

Clearly underrated. Sure, very early in the game this spell is out-shined by Fireball or Banefire, but that isn't all that relevant.
At 4 mana it equals Fireball for multi-target.
At 5 mana it equals Fireball for single-target, beats it at multi-target.
From 6 mana and up it beats Fireball for everything.
At 10 mana it one-shots your opponent for 20 damage. :) (unlikely to happen, but still a mention-worthy fact)
The comparison to Earthquake is unfair, as they are different mechanics, but do notice that Comet Storm will hit fliers.
You CAN choose the same target as many times as you want as an additional target, so... Calculations for single-targeting: (take T as the number of targets chosen, counting the original).
Up to 4 mana, inclusive - Irrelevant, 2 damage
5 mana - T=2, X=2, 4 damage
6 mana - Either T=2, X=3 or T=3, X=2, 6 damage
7 mana - T=3, X=3, 9 damage
8 mana - Either T= 3, X=4 or T=4, X=3, 12 damage
9 mana - T=4, X=4, 16 damage
10 mana - T=5, X=4 or T=4, X=5, 20 damage
... (see all)
