I'm not sure why this card didn't see much play. Fill your deck with snow lands and it's basically a one mana "destroy target creature".

Red isn't necessarily fire-based. Go read the color pie again.
On another note, I took down a Blightsteel Colossus with this once.
Inb4 NO DUH.

i have definitely now seen the most un-Vorthos card in all of Magic the Gathering: Im going to burn you to death. With snow.
Yes, there is even a Snow Deck Wins based on this and a few other wierdos from this set.
I guess they couldn't just 'not have red', but really, they could have TRIED to make it more...red.
beleive it or not, the Vorthos in me tells me this should be BLUE. yeah, much more power than Psychic Bolt or whatever it was called but...snow=blue to me.

Or, in an even MORE devious manner, run things like Ragged Veins or Treacherous Link to turn early creatures your opponent puts out into giant bull's-eyes for this and things like Tendrils of Corruption. With Ragged Veins, it can all be done at INSTANT speed, with them not seeing it coming.

This is interesting considering that red's burn spells are really great early-mid game and then kind of lose their luster when the fatties start dropping, but this is the opposite! This starts off weak and grows stronger the longer the game runs.

Not as powerful as it looks at first glance, because you eschew the ability to play with dual lands and the like in order to play with it.

Can hit harder than dismember for very little color commitment. It's weak early game but by T4 you have an instant speed Flame Slash; or T2 if you're both playing snow decks.

Aim it at Stuffy Doll or Mirrorwood Treefolk and you can redirect that damage to your opponent!
