The punishing fire combo is only good if you have nothing else to do, IMO. 3 mana -> 1 damage. Most burn will get you more damage than mana cost. Of course, it's good for wiping the field if they have a lot of chump blockers, but it doesn't seem like the greatest thing.

For all of the haters here, this is in my Hostility deck with Grove of the Burnwillows and that is scary.

Rain of Gore says "If a spell or ability would cause its controller to gain life, that player loses that much life instead." So obviously this card would not work. Great card tho.

This card begs to be played with untap effects and False Cure.

I would not compare this to M10 lands, I'd compare it with painlands: what would you choose?: losing life or giving your foe life?.
And no, the Punishing Fire and this is a stupid combo in my opinion, you are giving your opponent life jut to burn it again and again and again... Kederekt Parasite and Quest for Pure Flame seems a more solid combo for me.

This card looks absolutely disgusting. No, the abilities are fine, but just looking at it somehow makes me sick.

Even though this was played with punishing fire for an awesome effect.. I still don't like it. Your stuck with colorless or giving your opponent extra life, and anyone thats played with soul warden knows that can add up. Sooner or later someone will find out a trick around that strategy, as they always do, and then it will be back to giving your opponents life for using colored mana. I'd much rather play something like a sunpetal grove, that doesn't even come into play tapped if you have a forest or plains. As far as removal goes.. punishing fire is awesome, but there are other ways to get repeating burn without resorting to that individual combo.

Rain of Gore. Even if you don't need the colored mana, still take it because it will hurt your opponents. FANTASTIC!
