Whoa seven pages of comments?! Okay, no wonder. This is INSANE reprint. And I like it.
6/5 base, -1.0 because the art is to reddish, but points to flavor text, which totally describes this card. Unfortunately, rating is capped to 5 stars.

@dr kennith . brillant when they banned lighting bolt i stoped playing red as anything less just felt dirty . no if its back end is less then four be afaird. Imo lighting bolt is why red creatures have first strike.

The best part is how it doesn't mess with your game plan that much - it just adds to it.

I can't believe someone asked "why?".... Why? Because it's a good card... It's almost like people WANT WOTC to make crappy cards just because they might be balanced it they SUCK... Jeez shut up and enjoy the COMMON Boon that does three for 1 is back.

With creatures as they are now I don't feel this is at all broken and I don't even run it some red decks and then maybe only 2. Terminate, pyroclasm or path to exile are arguably better. They may end up leaving it in.

The only thing that upsets me about this particular card is that M10 is the only printing I have. I have to deal with casting an ugly, flavor-texty card when I could be casting the satisfyingly clean text boxes of any other printing.

One of the cards that a re hard to find, even if it's common. You just need to open too many boosters to find one.
