I once played this in a six or seven-player grand melee... it almost made it all the way around XD

I use this in my multiplayer Chaos deck (all it does is completely mess with the entire game)
Record so far in a 5 man game is 33 damage.

If you couple this card with discard spells, your opponent would take far greater risk to copy this spell since he'd have to discard his precious little hand size further.

I could see this working well in a Hellbent deck.

This is a really interesting card, with a lot of different uses. It can, no, it MUST be used strategically.
Use with Guerilla Tactics or similar. If they copy it back to you, you discard it (it's their copy, so it is controlled by an opponent) and deal 3 from the Chain and 4 from Guerilla Tactics.

@Cyberium Why build a deck to try and make your opponent not want to turn this against you? Just run Incinerates. Bending over backwards to negate a card's downside it just dumb. Now turning that downside into a benefit like those combos listed below...

Wow, I never realized the combo potential of this card! Kinda makes me want to build a Chain of Plasma deck, now...
As mentioned by some others: Swans of Bryn Argoll with any combination of Wild Defiance, Soul's Fire, and/or Livewire Lash :)

Put it on Isochron Scepter. It might not be the best play, but it's the closest you're gonna get to a plasma gun in Magic. Plus, it's probably hilarious in multiplayer. Especially if you play cards like Howling Mine. Hmm, I might have a new deck.

My favorite combo is with Mindslaver (since Chain of Plasma is an instant), but the best is probably with Swans of Bryn Argoll and a single copy of Conflagrate in your deck.

So, every card in my hand is now a free Seething Anger? Well okay then!
