The problem of cards like these is: if I play him on turn one, then the only advantage it has over a vanilla 1/1 drop is, that I can spend mana to pump it. But the next few turns, I probably want to play more threats instead. So... At least in the late game it can deal some damage. Well, not too much either. Ok this is crap.

Well, you're still swinging for 2 damage on turn two.

Relevant in limited as one of Izzet's extremely few playable creatures, not to mention playable spells. Izzet's so pathetic in this set it almost makes me cry evertim.

At the prerelease, I was forced to trade a much better card for this. I was so ashamed. This card plays a very important role in Rakdos sealed.

Absolutely beautiful art, real shame it's just not quite useful enough.

It's a 1/1 for 1.
It has an ability which regularly causes it to scale into the late-game.
At least a 3-star card here. And at common? Come on.

Not a whole lot of epic one drops here in RtR, but fire breathing is still fire breathing even if it's a tad inefficient.

Why do people hate this card? It's weak, especially if everything's going well, but has potential to trade with something stronger or do extra damage. It's a 1/1 for 
with an ability. Much better than a number of other weak cards in this set, anyway.
