Most times, Jaws of Stone is way better, even if it is a turn later, but why not run both :D

This is a fine card in mono-red, and assuming you are running mostly Mountains, usually strictly superior to Lava Axe due to being able to target creatures as well. If the game does grind out longer than 5 turns, then you do have a solid finisher than is superior to Blaze and the like without the mana investment of most X-spells, if you are playing it no earlier than turn 5. Here's a little chart to outline the cost/benefits of this versus Blaze, assuming your manabase is all Mountains:

Spire Barrage
5 Mountains: 4Red for 5 damage (0 untapped)
6 Mountains: 4Red for 6 damage (1 untapped)
7 Mountains: 4Red for 7 damage (2 untapped)
8 Mountains: 4Red for 8 damage (3 untapped)
9 Mountains: 4Red for 9 damage (4 untapped)
10 Mountain/autocar... (see all)
