Not sure why this is rated so low. With the right mana base (especially the kind you'd have in a legacy deck), you can manipulate the effect to make the sweep more one sided in your favor. It saw some play in Grand Prix Amsterdam (Not much, but some). In my opinion, this should be at least a 4/5.

I am surprised they put this in Mirror Mastery, since it lacks synergy with Riku of Two Reflections. When he copies it, no mana was paid to cast it, and the spell does nothing.

Well, you can return it to your hand with Nucklavee at least.

Random Card Comment
@whiteshdw Agreed. Also, this has been the number 1 cause of death for my Riku in my deck as well.
In the Mirror Mastery deck, I find this card a hassle. Normally I like damaging everything, but I think this would do better in a 2 color deck, because the Islands in Mirror Mastery tend to complicate the casting of this spell.
I have yet to try it in a RG deck though, so I'll leave my criticism at that.

@whiteshadw: The only way I can kind of see it working is using it with Intet, the Dreamer to sweep the skies of chump blockers, but of course it doesn't work with Intet's ability either.
I suppose it's one of those "bad cards" that they put into all precon decks.

They could've called this Fiery Wrath.

It's a bit weird indeed in Riku's deck.
It's also strangely annoying in a red and green deck - sometimes you just want to hit all flyers or non-flyers. Most other cards in this cycle you want both effects, but not always here...
Still, 3 damage to everything for 3 mana isn't bad. Especially when it doesn't hit yourself in the process.
