When I first started playing, I got a jank red deck from a friend. And while the deck was pretty bad, it won more games than it should have been able to due to this card alone. Moral of the story; This card has serious potential, and it's quite effective, as well as efficient in the proper type of deck.

Also, test it out with Ankh of Mishra if you don't like your friends enjoying the game. Maybe some land removal too, like Boomerang, ect.

This card wins. The key is making your deck cost efficient and fast and your opponent(s) doesn't see it coming until it's to late. I get the biggest kick out of using this in two-headed multiplayer online. So many people think their 6+ drops are the key to winning. Vexing devil, Shrine of Burning Rage, and Thunderous Wrath are this card's best friends. IMO screw the dmg prevention and just go kamikaze! (if you expect your game to go on for longer than turn 6 you might consider pairing this with rites of flourishing)

This card is VERY USABLE in a RDW/Aggro Deck..

Burn them with spells (Bolt, Incinerate, everything you've got) early then play this card at turn 4.

Even if you cast Burn spells at turn 4 onwards, say Lightning Bolt or Lava Spike, your opponent would still be at the DANGER ZONE (1dmg from Manabarbs to you, 3dmg from Bolt to opponent) because of the Burn spells you've played earlier..

Good overall but not good if you're playing against an AGGRO/RDW too.. it happened to me.. (anyway, it's always sweet to lose because of SUICIDE.. that's just me.. hahaha) :D
