Because Kindled Fury needed to just be amazing in EVERY circumstance.

"Sequence activate, trip the hammer to eradicate, I must eliminate
I will spread swift justice on their land"
Any guesses?
Card is probably the best white combat trick there is, but giant growth still has it beat. Even if two bears fight with one getting this and one getting the growth, the white player still gets his lifegain. This trades evenly with Assault Strobe, and owns Virulent Swipe(at least on that turn). 
is tricky, as it should be, since it has very few effects that are just beneficial to your creature. The recent Mizzium Skin is a contender, but overload doesn't matter for this comparison, and it would lose to the strike. I feel blue wouldn't let the combat happen in the first place (and would maintain card advantage), so evasion is in order. Leap comes to mind, but for these purposes I prefer Shadow Rift because of all the instant-speed flying hate lately. autoca... (see all)

Pros like me like using combat tricks like this one even though we don't need them.

Not sure if I would play it in constructed, but for sure a card to consider in limited.

Every time someone combat tricks this in Limited, I want to rip it up in a million pieces.
Easy to get, easy to pay for, always, ALWAYS kills my creature.
Not that bad for standard, really. I always wanted a 6/3 First Strike Lifelink Thragtusk.

It does more than Kindled Fury. Does that make it good? Well, not really. But it's highly playable in Limited, and that's enough to get a 3.5 from me.

honestly for what it does it deserves at least 4. i mean - what more can you get for single w? anything more and this would be crazy overpowered.
also keep in mind this not only saves your creature but gives you say 3-4 life for that low of a cost! thats not bad

Exactly what I needed for my Boros deck. Goes along well with the other combat tricks I have in the deck.

Useful for consuming the souls of your enemies.
Also, no longer combos with Nancy Grace.
