Utterly useless. The coolest thing you can do is play this in response to some guy dropping a pyroclasm against with 20 creatures. But yeah, Shunt.

At the time in red there wouldn't have been anything better than this, although White had Eye for an Eye and Reverse Damage...

Looks like grand fun in multiplayer, where there's a lot better chance of a high damage socery going off that you'll actually survive. Hilarious response to a multiplayer Earthquake. Perhaps not practical, but when it does happen it'll be memorable.
Use in response to Chain Reaction in a multiplayer game for hilarious times :)

Yet another instance of Legends wasting an awesome name on a lousy card. However, I use one in my movie-titles theme deck.

Silently behind a door, it waits.
One breath of oxygen and it explodes in a deadly rage.
In that instant it can create a hero... or cover a secret.

I think this card is now under rated with the popularity of bonfire of the damned. I do 8 to you and 8 to all of your creatures ok I respond with backdraft. its cheap enough even affinity can run it.

Keep in mind, it counts ALL of the damage a Sorcery would deal, and Sorceries aren't necessarily single target.
"Oh, gonna Pyroclasm my goblins? Well screw you too."

Oracle is just about as clunky as the original printed rules text on this one. But it has its uses. Two mana can deal a lot of damage to someone who uses big-damage sorceries. Follow up somebody's Hurricane with this and you might knock them out.
It's probably not worth putting in any maindeck, but it's more playable than a lot of its set and its contemporaries, when flavor drove design at the expense of sound game mechanics.
