The flavor text makes me wonder how effectively these "Sea Gate Militia" group fares against ordinary enemies.

In my opinion Zendikar is responsible for a lot of quality being added to red cards. Thank you Wizards for putting effort into improving red.

Yeah, Zendikar block was actually pretty good to red, I've enjoyed it. I like playing control red a lot more than straight up RDW/sligh (which get old pretty quick since they have so little interaction and mop up games really quickly and peter out hard in multiplayer) so this is pretty much a godsend. I've cast it plenty of times, usually as a straight forward red Wrath, but my favourite is getting to use it with Swans of Bryn Argoll in a red/blue deck to swipe out blockers, swing in for 4, and draw bunches of cards.
In case anyone else is interested, this comes in the Mirror Mastery deck.

Outclassed by Blasphemous Act. At the point where Blasphemous Act costs only 4 mana, there will be 5 creatures on the board. Chain Reaction will do 5 damage to each creature. Blasphemous Act will do 13. Beyond that, Chain Reaction still costs 4 mana while Act keeps dropping in cost (and is more splashable).
1 Creature
Chain Reaction costs 4 and deals 1 damage.
Blasphemous Act costs 8 and deals 13 damage.
2 Creatures
Chain Reaction costs 4 and deals 2 damage.
Blasphemous Act costs 7 and deals 13 damage.
3 Creatures
Chain Reaction costs 4 and deals 3 damage.
Blasphemous Act costs 6 and deals 13 damage.
4 Creatures
Chain Reaction costs 4 and deals 4 damage.
Blasphemous Act costs 5 and deals 13 damage.
5 Creatures
Chain Reaction costs 4 and deals 5 damage.
Blasphemous Act costs 4 and deals 13 damage.

The funny part is that this card falls down horribly in Commander unless you're playing with 3 to 4 players with a lot of creatures in play. Few things are quite as depressing as drawing this card in a 2-player Commander game where there are only 3 or 4 creatures in play and your opponent is beating your face in with a huge critter... yeah, dealing a few points of damage to everything won't cut it.
Probably better in faster formats and obviously needs tons of creatures to be worth anything.

@igniteice: After 13 creatures, Chain Reaction deals more damage per creature than Blasphemous Act, and after 52 creatures, it deals more damage per creature per mana. If you're dealing with hordes of high-toughness dudes, Chain Reaction is better.
