My 
Pauper deck is filled with burn spells and draw spells.
You know, the kind that go to the graveyard.
This is always great for when there are more creatures on the field then I have burn spells in my hand.

@OmegaSerris: Priority doesn't work that way. You cast this spell, and if you pass priority to your opponent (by saying "any counters") and they do nothing, the spell resolves and you can't do anything between your opponent passing priority and resolution. You can't "check" to see if they have a counterspell before sacrificing Seal of Fire.

I like how without threshold its a sorcery that does absolutely nothing.

Threshold can be achieved with a simple Book Burning. . . maybe the ashes turned into the sandstorm??

It doesn't sound terrible to have 2 of these in a burn deck.

Red Mage: "I'll play Swirling Sandstorm."
Blue Mage: "Let me read that..."
Red Mage: "Any counters?"
Blue Mage: "You only have 6 cards in your graveyard... Even though you'll have 7, this will be resolved already."
Red Mage: "Oh no. What was I thinking? So, any counters?"
Blue Mage: "Haha, no. Go ahead."
Red Mage: "I'll sac my Seal of Fire, two damage to you."
Blue Mage: "Son of a ***! Stifle that."
Red Mage: "Ok, still in my graveyard. *Troll Face*"

@OmegaSerris: Of course, after you do that, they can still cast a counterspell before this resolves. So... pretty pointless.

@Chamale, thanks for clearing that up! I do love this game I just wish it was simpler and less arcane- it has a lot of baggage when it comes down to it. I'm sure that's part of the appeal for many though! Also amusing that this card does nothing much without threshold.
