Far better than it looks, as if you're playing a deck with linear (more land destruction, like Goblin Ruinblaster or Mold Shambler) or synergistic (discard effects like Blightning or Slavering Nulls) cards this can start hitting for three, four, five damage without much trouble at all. It's a two-for-one, basically, and that's generally a good thing in a Magic game.

Combine this with Din of the Fireherd.

This is the card that made me make a standard legal LD deck. Trying to keep it mono red, though traumatize is tempting... This trule punishes the untapped land fetchers, first paying life for fetching, and then when this hits them. This is a definite win condition for LD decks.

One of the only cards against which Mudhole is any use whatsoever.
