The unstoppable force to Chimney Imp's immovable object. You can kill the Imp with this, but then, his ability negates the cantrip you've just paid 6 mana for.

Amazing...use this on chimney imp and you have some amazing synergy. If you want to be crafty, throw in sorrow's path for some fun

Are you saying that I can pay 6 extra to a Lightning Bolt in order to draw a card?

BROKEN!!!

It is true, Ember Shot is really bad. The strange thing is that you don't find many cards which come near to it in terms of functionality, at least in monored (dealing 3 damage and drawing a card).
With a blue splash I can just think of Electrolyze (just dealing 2 but with 2 possible targets) or a kicked Illuminate with Variable Colorless=3 costing 6BlueRed all in all but drawing three cards - both cards are uncommon and Illuminate just a sorcery. In the rare department we get Prophetic Bolt which is strictly superior.
It seems that the developers were very anxious that a cheap common cantripping burn spell would be quite dangerous for the environment (but, would you really play it at 5Red ... or even 4Red outside of limited?). Well, I'm sorry, way too many words on a bad card...

Back in the day when I didn't have many cards, I included this in my very first burn deck. It's not something I'm proud of.

@ Mooby: M10 update: Apparently a cantrip in red costs 6.

Way too OP'ed. Needs to be a sorcery and cost 1 more red.

This is the worst burn spell I've ever seen.
