Something's missing from this card...

Bye-bye, weenies.

2012 is as good a time as any for this to get a core-set reprint.

Interesting... The rulings on Fireball say that you can choose 0 targets, but the rulings on this one say you can. I don't see any reason they'd be different-- Which is correct?

The ONLY advantage comet storm has over this is that it's at instant speed.

Why is this not rated higher?

@ScepterofEternities Because Comet Storm Lets you pay 1 extra mana and have 2 targets BOTH take the full brunt of

Ok, the rulings of this card say that X can be 0, and yet I was always told that you can't pay 0 for an x cost...I'm confused.

@Dragonspeaker1995 - You can always pay X as 0, no matter what the card is. Whoever told you that is wrong.

Leaves fireball in the dirt

@DajoshMaster: There are actually 9 cards that explicitly say that X can't be 0
Aeon Chronicler
Aladdin's Lamp
Benalish Commander
Detritivore
Ertai's Meddling
Fungal Behemoth
Helm of Obedience
Mind Grind
Roiling Horror
but any other time, that's correct.

Can possibly take out 2-3 creatures and even ping the player, or just blast the player in the face for the win. Good option over fireball.

The problem here to me is, up until you're paying X=3, cone of flame is always better. Sometimes you may have to take 1 damage or deal it to one of your creatures, but at least to me that's so rare and so meaningless that I'd never replace it over this.
For dealing with tons of small creatures, you have pyroclasm and others like it
For dealing with one big guy, you have any of the disintegrates or shivan meteor
I don't understand why this is rated so high..
