With cmc of 5 and being a hybrid colour of triggered effect, I am not too sure why the damage only targets players... Not that it really matters playing red... And even though it is such a great card, Mono red doesnt even need him. By turn 5 most burn decks have already won, and if not, the opponents life total is hanging on to something for dear life...
Amplified burn has always been at least 4 cmc or greater. And the newer amplified burn cards (under 4cmc) need quest counters, or make you toss your hand... Truthfully all burn amplifiers are just tease cards that will never really see much constructed. Why use amplified burn, when you can just put in more burn? I have played burn many times... very easy on the mind let me tell you =) but there is never any room, or time for amplified burn. Browbeat even has a hard time making burn decks now.
5/5 None the less, every tease card gets a 5.

Maybe noone mentioned Tamanoa because Balefire liege is a creature..?

@Paleopaladin The enemy colored cycle of lieges are all horrors, while all allied colored lieges are all knights. So think of this card as a spirit that just happens to be a horror.

Another boros hybrid that can still be an absolute fiend in a mono-colored deck. Save up your Lightning Bolts, Fireblasts and Gut Shots for a huge grand finale!

Because Figure of Destiny wasn't strong enough on his own.

The funny thing with the lieges is that you could use them in mono color decks too. See how this works out in a lifegain or pyromancer's ascension deck and completely ignore the +2/+2.

On the creature side, he's fun with Goblin Trenches too.

My preferred decks are primarily red splashed with either black or white, and I like this with Mindwrack Liege a whole bunch. Get my Balefire out for 1 less mana(at the end of my opponent's turn, no less). Gives my burn spells a little more heat, and a nice little bonus to my generally defensive white spells.
Damage gets carried away with Fire Servant and Kiln Fiend, too. Bring this guy out at the end of opponent's turn, using Mindwrack Liege, with Kiln Fiend and Fire Servant already on the board. Lightning Bolt or equivalent for 9, and +3/+0 to Kiln Fiend. Gut Shot as a freebie for 5, and an additional +3/+0. Lay down Aggression and Assault Strobe. You've dealt 14 damage to this point, and going into the combat phase, your Kiln Fiend is a double-striking 14/4 with trample. Because we can count on this generally being the last go at it, he'... (see all)
