People saying this is useless have obviously only ever cast Sorceries.

Honestly, after they changed the manaburn rules, they should have errataed this card to cause manaburn as part of its effect, same as how a few artifacts were errataed to deactivate when tapped as a special rule.
Errata should try to keep the spirit intended for the card when it was printed. Since this card only works the way it was intended when manaburn exists, it should cause manaburn. It wouldn't make it particularly overpowered, just non-useless.

superboi has an excellent point. With mana burn around players could leave mana open and make the reasonable claim that their hand had nothing to cast and they therefore had no choice but to take the damage. Now leaving mana open with this on the field has only two reasons: The player has instants or other effects to make use of off-turn, or the player is pretending to have instants or other effects to make use of off-turn. Good luck figuring out which.
For the upper hand in these bluffing games, have an ability on the board that needs mana and should obviously be used off-turn. That gives you a reason to leave stuff untapped and makes people less likely to question your motives.
