ANOTHER green burn spell? Ugh! What have they done to the color pie!?

Anyway, not that good anyway, except for the "oh you have no mana you cant do squat!" attitude when your opponent tries to do something, like cast a 1/1 and then try to enchant it with something nasty and you come out of nowhere with THIS! Except you only get away with it once and then he figures you out. Still fairly useless except for that rare case you absolutely need to burn for damage and don't have enough mana.

There are countless 1 drop red burn cards far superior to this. I don't think the ability to pay 2 life instead of Red is going to win too many games.

And.... Kills a Wellwisher for all colors! Awesome!

2/5

at uncommon this really should have done 2 damage. Still worth something in limited though.

A nice combat trick while tapped out... and who knows when you'll need to kill someone with one life left... oh and storm LOVES these kind of cards (All-In RED???)

3/5. Crap cause it's not worth its weight. This "slot" could be something more useful that pulls its own weight ie: Lightning Bolt. 3 Damage for a hole in my deck sure! 1 Damage for a slot in my deck? *** off please. :)

I 'spose if you're in dire need of burn spells in sealed....... then maybe............ but still NAH.

deal one damage to your opponent and take two yourself = no good. But i can see how it could be useful against a 1/1 with an annoying abillity. This card in no way deserves to be uncommon though.

Kills Squadron Hawks, Porcelain Legionnaires and Lotus Cobras for no mana, which is worth saving at least a sideboard slot or two for.

Maybe it should've been like 3 red (don't know how to make the symbol) and it can deal 3 damage to creature/player. So it'd be the same 2 life for 1 damage trade off but it'd be a bolt, and thus scary/good for off-color decks or well-timed.
