white and blue are the two least used colors in my experience :|
something that targeted black creatures might be worth a damn, but in any case color-targeted mechanics are pretty dumb.
cards that use it, like this, only have a place in casual games played among friends, when you know your friend is addicted to playing a certain color. for the most part, they suck.

Best spell to get rid of Deceiver Exarch. They cannot counter it, burn them away.
Also handy to burn any large fliers, like sphinxs.

If there is in ANY WAY a place for this in your red deck's sideboard, put it in there.
Then trollface in your second game against a white/blue deck.

I think this card is a semi version of Turn to Slag

One of the few ways to kill Swans of Bryn Argoll with fire.

Designed to kill BSA in M11, then reprinted in M12 without BSA around anymore. What a waste of core set card slots.
If this did 6 damage to kill Frost/Sun Titans, Consecrated Sphinxes, Skaab Ruinators, and attacking Gideons, it'd be a good sideboard option instead of a completely pointless card.

@HuntedWurmpusMustDie
Yeah compare it, this cannot be countered. Its an instant. Black outright destroys the creature, but how many creatures can survive 5 damage? And it cannot be prevented, just in case. Even if they do drop a titan, you still have the chance to do a combat trick and hit them for 1 extra with a creature, or better yet, with something like Grim Lavamancer, pinging stuff red does best.
