Reasonably decent if it's the last card you play to end the game, but in most cases it'll just be Win More or useless cardboard.

Assault Strobe almost obsoletes this.

Assault Strobe is cheaper, not better. This is better because it's an instant while the Strobe is a sorcery.

Cleavage and poison just go great together.

I prefer Soul's Fire. It cost's one mana more and it's only red, but being able to do target a creature or player is a lot better than just giving a creature doublestrike.

Great with artifact decks that have cranial plating. Also great on any large creature:) It is a tossup between this card, Soul's Fire, and Fling. They all accomplish the same goal, just in different ways. I love the instant speed and multicolored nature. 4.5/5.

Assault Strobe isnt white, and this can be used for defence (even though it's a very offencive card). Also, get a 3 (or more) power creature (eg Centaur Coarser) and cast:
Distortion Strike
Tainted Strike
This.
Kill for Just 1RedBlueBlack. Possible turn 3.

In a red and white deck, Boros Charm is much better.

I played back in the day when Berserk was considered an overpowered card, so seeing this at common made me do a doubletake. It can turn the tables both offensively and defensively, and the high volume of potential targets - which do not necessarily die, by the way - make this potentially a game-winner in the right situations. Slith Firewalker hits twice, ending up a 3/3 after one attack. Ball Lightning goes nuts for 12. Vorosh, the Hunter hits you for 18 and gets ridiculously huge. Guardian of the Gateless suddenly turns the tables on an opponent's swarm, striking down an army of saprolings.

The only thing is, it's not particularly good if your creature is weak, and not great in all situations. It won't prevent your creature from being removed, and is not great against an army of chump blockers, Guard Gomozoa and the like, etc.

By the way Qazior - that i... (see all)
