Combos MAGNIFICENTLY with Bloodchief Ascension, you don't even need to worry about activating it anymore, it does it by itself!

It's a staple of legacy burn side decks.
That's about all i can say not particularly exciting, but what can you do it's a hate card against control/lifegain decks.

Bloodchief Ascension, Sulfuric Vortex, Grindclock. Of course they won't care about Gindclock, IT JUST MILLS, right???
WRONG!!
Turn one: Swamp, Bloodchief, turn.
Turn two: Swamp/Mountain, Grindclock, put a charge counter on it, turn.
Turn three: Swamp/Mountain, Sulfuric Vortex, another charge counter on the clcok, turn.
Their turn, 2 damage on them, quest counter on Bloodchief, turn.
Turn Four: 2 damage on you, Land, Volt Charge, quest counter, proliferate the quest counter, mill them for FOUR cards, 8 damage, VOILA!!

They're on the Grindclock, now!!

People mention a lot of nice combos.

What's more impressive about this card is that if you play it in any sort of aggressive red deck with a decent amount of burn, it just kills them.

It also reminds me of the Heavy from Team Fortress 2:
Red Mage - "Some people (blue mages) think they can outsmart me. Maybe... maybe.
I've yet to meet one that can outsmart vortex."

Great card! Even if your opponant doesn't use gain life cards this still hurts them every turn. It does hurt you as we'll but you're the one playing burn so this puts you at a huge advantage! 4/5
