C'mon, guys: this thing is good—really good, even—but it is not worth thirty dollars a copy. Nor is it even remotely rare enough to justify that price tag.

Not only is it cheaper and more powerful than Spitemare, its creature type of Wizard is also a popular type, lovely.

With this and Stuffy Doll in the format at the same time, it's really making me wish that Pyroclasm was in the format too....

Recipe for a deck: All the dual lands in B/W,
4 Phyrexian Obliterator
4 Boros Reckoner
Add a bunch of your favorite 2-drops in those colors, and a lot of 1 or 2 cmc instant speed protection.
. . . Still not as busted as Obliterator.

This card is amazing, especially in aggro vs aggro matchups. Many times, you will get a 2-for-1 with him.
The optional first strike really causes your opponent to make mistakes.
You can pair with a soul-bound life-link creature, haste creature, etc. for even more fun.
You can even cast Clan Defiance to do 2x the damage to the player and still kill one of their flyers because of the damage redirection ability.
In standard at the time of this writing, the only 3-drop in red worth using was a Pyreheart Wolf, but not anymore.
This will make its way into mono red, boros, and naya decks and will be in standard for a very long time.
It is rather curious that it was one of the only rares NOT spoiled or hyped by Wizards, yet it is probably one of the best cards in the set.
It is amazing - totally unreal - that this card is being sold for only $2.50 to $3.50 right now. I expect it to go to $15 or $20 by the end of the year.

This is what happens when you upgrade a Card (here Spitemare ) with money from uncommon to rare: CMC lowered by 1, addional activated ability which is combat relevant.
