1st few turns in sealed you get some early damage and trade some creatures/removal spells. then your opponent stabilizes with a big blocker and you cannot attack since losing an attacker each turn is not worth the 3 dmg you get it. That's when you need trumpet blast: it's not a 2 for 1 since you traded creatures with opponent and the other unblocked ones all gave 2 more damage each, easily dishing 4 or even 6 if you really built the deck aggressively. Quite possibly devastating when used right, dealing more than burn spells, removing big blockers and the good bit is they always are picked late.

I don't get why this card is rated so low. Throw a few in a goblin deck with Krenko, mob boss and all of a sudden your attack with 6 or 7 1/1 goblin tokens becomes devastating.

This card is awesome. won me a draft against my friend since he didn't block anyone. i was at 4 and won in one big swing with a board of 5 or 6 creatures. this card changes everything when your opponent thinks you got nothing to change the duel or win in one swing.

This card can be powerful in the hands of a pro like me who uses this when he has lots of creatures.

As of this comment, there is one card other than Mishra that has a 5/5 rating on Gatherer!

Devastating in Two-Headed Giant games if your friend is playing Aggro too :)
