Good in the early game and against control decks. Against aggro... Not so much.

I can see a ruinflare trap archenemy using this very well.

I love that flavor text! Cranial explosions for everyone!

Schemes that have no effect on the board? Booring. Who plays mono-red aggro as the Archenemy? Seriously, this scheme is lame.

God dammit Teferi, I TOLD you that chili sauce was hot.

Owling Mine archenemy deck will really like to use this one.

@Mutantman: Maybe I'm a little daft, but I'm not sure how playing monored as the Archenemy affects how well this card works.

I admit this isn't the best scheme because it has a large chance of misfiring, but Cerebral Vortex / Ruinflare Trap is one of my favorite decks to play, and its explosive there. Sure, that's a niche spot so it doesn't really justify the card, but I'm sure most of us have one player who just freaking loves to draw cards, so it is less likely to backfire than many would expect.

Besides, this card proves that Orpah is an Archenemy. Only she would say "Cranial explosions for everyone!"

@GracefulInferno how come he does not spit a flame out of his open mouth then? :P

Turn one this is just brutal though.

You get a cranial explosion!
You get a cranial explosion!
You get a cranial explosion!
Everyone gets a cranial explosion!

I love how the flavor text basically explains that you don't need to think or strategize to use this Archenemy deck.
