Would love to use this card in group games, the RRR is minor hindrance at best.

I didn't like this at first because of its speed and its inability to hit players.

About a week ago the term 'overload' kicked in.

5/5

Screws over hexproof and shroud. Takes care of Geist of Saint Traft and any other creatures they bring. Heck it even kills Thrun, the Last Troll barring regeneration.

Bonfire of the Damned stable version? Snapcastable spot removal? Gimme 4.

Oh Golgari Charm...I'm wondering how many times you will save my butt from things like this...

It may not be the greatest burn spell ever made. But that art is glorious, and the effect reflects that perfectly. The Izzet mage launches either a single volley of flame mortars or barrages the living crap out of everything. It's one of those cards that satisfies nearly every play style and is playable in most formats excluding the eternals. Definitely my favorite card in the set.

I put two of these in my UR delver deck (which won my local FNM 5-0!) 4.5/5! It fills the gap nicely between Pillar of Flame as your 1 drop and Flames of the Firebrand as your 3 drop. The Overload doesn't even need to happen because you have so many other burn spells, but when you do overload its always card advantage (and usually a winning turn too). Going to pick up a 3rd copy (can't afford Bonfire of the Damned) soon; although it can't hit players, it kills pretty much anything else with a big butt (Restoration Angel, Corpsejack Menace, Isperia, Odric, Loxodon Smiter just to name a few).

My only complaint is that it can't hit opposing planeswalkers :(

@wholelottalove

If this could hit players it would have been the best burn to be printed since bolt or Fireblast.
