You people miss the point of newbie cards like this. This card is has awesome art and is very elegant. I love it! I sometimes take these out, dust them off, and throw them in an oldschool burn deck with Lava Axe! Ahh so much fun.

Turns mana into pain as simply and elegantly as possible.

Good, solid, straight burn spell. Yeah, there are other cards that are similar, but any red player is never going to feel bad about pulling this guy out mid-game.
3.5/5

I like it! In EDH when you can only have one of anything, the more X burn the better. I have all of the X burn cards in my deck including this one.

Blaze is the better-designed card by far while Fireball has the better name, again by far. I can almost taste Wizards' regret.
Edit: Reprint with "X+1 damage" please. I think it will be balanced today.

That's more of because Banefire is newer, as a card game progresses as far as mage, it's a sure thing that cards will become out-dated. Oh and look at Demonfire

I love this card! It's great for getting rid of annoying creatures, or otherwise you can keep it till you've saved up a ton of mana (with Lotus Blossom or Mercadian Bazaar or something simular) and burn your opponent into losersville.

I hate this 'yu gi oh' like mechanics. If you have a common, then there is an uncommon that is strictly better, if it's an uncommon then there's a rare that's strictly better.
