Bonfire is a strong card to play in any deck that features red. Even for it's non-miracle cost it can really help you keep your opponents side of the board cleared. I think we are going to continue seeing Bonfire played in Standard until it becomes illegal.
If you are having Bonfire played against you and you would like to have a way to combat it, then check out this article at mtgnoob.com

I think my favorite possible thing to do against a bonfire is to put down a Redirect and then a Reverberate on top of that. When the stack resolves you will have both Bonfires going off on your opponent instead of you.

I use red, and if you want a quick game winner, 4 fire servants + this card = game
I used this combo and my opponent just scowled at me and said "I hate you " while i'm just sitting there laughing.

A terrible card, definitely over-powered, doesn't need to build around it and can turn the game easily if you are lucky, so it only adds to the luck element of the game, in other words just stick a couple in there if you play red (and if you dont still you can splice some red) and hope... Not only it does wipe the board single sided, but also deals directly damage to the player, leaving little chance to respond, really really bad designed in any way

Best burn spell ever made. Truly deserves its status as mythic.

Reads title. Looks at picture.. Picks up Army of the damned, reads title. Looks at picture. LIGHTBULB! Ohhhhh ok.. Bonfire of the "DAMNED" lol, I get it! Hey, that was some pretty good thinking Wizards, thanks! :)
Ps- This bad boy sure does cost a lot (of $$$) for only being a 4.1! What's the deal? Is it the overall BEST rare in block?? Standard period?? There's nothing worth more at the moment so I take it that's a yes. Interesting.. I mean, I get it.. It's good, but.. Interesting.
