Yeah, I got nothin'. It's Fireball. What's there to say about Fireball?

Why is Fireball rated less than 4? It's a classic.

Completely obselete with Comet Storm as an alternative.

@Magnor_Criol; Touché. You know your Fireball.

Brutally inefficient, but at least it's brutal. Especially late game, and especially against a color combination devoid of blue/white shenanigans. I hate getting my own fireballs thrown in my face.

This is epic win with Reverberate.

Fireball will never look bad in my eyes. It's still one of my favorite spells that I love to fling into my opponent's faces. The flavor is what makes me love it (and the art is sexy!). I sometimes use Blaze every now and then simply because I feel sorry for it - I mean, it has epic art but the actual power of the card is pretty mediocre.

Except that Comet Storm is a Mythic, and not in a core set, which means that this is more available both by rarity and by printing. And has a much better chance of being legal for longer.

Also, if you're just aiming at one target, this is better by one mana.

Don't get me wrong, I love Comet Storm - sexy instant speed, and no division - but it's not better in every way.

Also, I love this art for Fireball already, but when they put it in this special foiling style it's downright hypnotic.

@Aburaishi: Why thank you sir. (Nice to know no hard feelings were had. =) )

Fireball, just a perfect balanced card. Lovely and classic.

Besides, saying that something's worse than Comet Storm isn't exactly an insult. I'd put four Fireballs into a deck even if I had Comet Storms (in addition to, not instead of, of course).

Ah, the classic mana mindbender fire bomb.
