This is no Char. But don't get me wrong, its certainly not a bad card, it's just not as flexible as Char was. Sure, you don't take 2 damage yourself but that really wasn't such a big drawback considering it could be spashed into non-red colours. The Jav is good though, we could really use more 3-mana burn spells in Standard.

Not as splashable as Char was, but the higher converted cost is nice if you play Last Out as well.

There is an error in stats. The cards converted mana cost is 6, not 3! Didn't check if same is true fore other hybrid-colorless mana spells

A decent burn spell that kills most things at instant speed. In mono-red, this is definitely superior to Char, though amusingly, casual players can run this card in decks with no red at all. The look on your opponent's face when you whip this out in a mono-blue or mono-green deck for UUUUUU or GGGGGG will be priceless.

Better for burn decks than Char.

useful card I suppose, best if you have cards that care about CMC.

It's already cool that this can be used out of color. Now imagine this appearing in New Phyrexia with the cost of 3 Phyrexian red mana...

"This is no Char."? "Not as splashable as Char"? This can be played in a deck with no red in it, and you say this isn't splashable enough.

Even paying 2RR for it is TERRIBLE... it is very rare any deck wants any 6 CMC burn at all. The only reasons to look at this card as costing other than RRR is when card cares about CMC, or when you're running a deck that can usually afford to get RRR but every so often can't manage the third red.

Would be sooo beast. Because of free you might need to to make it cost 4 phyrexian. I know 8 health sounds like a lot, but being able to have instant speed burn for no mana is strong.
