I love this card in Zedruu the Greathearted EDH.

You: "Guess what, mono-blue player, your Psionic Blasts now do SIX DAMAGE!"

Blue Player: "Huh? (reads card) Fffffffffffff-------"

@ fibonacci112358 - "Now unplayable thanks to Guttersnipe."

I have to disagree with you there. Guttersnipe doesn't turn each ping from Flames of the Firebrand, Electrolyze, or Arc Lightning into a Lightning Bolt ;)

Couple this with Anthem of Rakdos. Your one spell a turn is looking pretty scary, even if it's Flame Jab.

Speaking of pyromancers... this with Chandra Ablaze makes a TON of damage in any decent red instant/sorcery deck

When this card was printed I build a deck with this and Oath of Scholars, and it worked quite well (casual only). You draw 4 cards a turn and you can burn your opponent like there weren't a tomorrow... Just remember to play the oath first!
Like Osco said, add Ensnaring Bridge and you don't even need to worry about combat damage...
Great card, IMHO...

4.5/5

Awesome with suspended burn such as Rift Bolt, but also pairs well with burn spells with Madness. Violent Eruption + this seems pretty sick ...

@Rioks: Shivan Meteor can't damage players - there's a reason it isn't completely broken, though you could damage a player if you have a Stuffy Doll on the battlefield.

This is really good with Pyroclasm, Volcanic Fallout or even Spark-Spray type spells. Neat with Seering Touch (especially if you use enough Memory Crystals). Very good with Grapeshot.
