it's still nothing great, but Red isn't really the colour of tough creatures (that's mostly reserved for Green).

We need a new, kickass, version of the old art

She finally graduated to Modern. 4/5 just for that.

While this fella is rather generic, considering how many utter terrible creatures red has gotten in the 5 mana casting cost slot over the years, I think we should be happy with it.

It just isn't the same without flaming boobs.

This is a large red creature that punishes its opponents.

Red's 5 drop is bigger than all of green's 5 drops! SUCK IT GREEN!

Good in limited is a terrible argument for reprinting horrible, unwanted cards.

I remember this guy, he was in my very first magic deck. He definitely hasn't aged well, but he's still a solid common for red. 4/5 for nostalgia

What a shame. The old art was much better; not just because of the boobs, as others have suggested. The old Fire Elemental art has character- the pose, the expression, the framing of the scene all reflect the attitude of fire: sensuous and dangerous at the same time. Now look at this new mess. The camera has panned out so the artist can hide the lack of detail (read: effort) on the figure and the poor thing looks like its limping! Where's the "Fwoosh! Look at me! I am FIRE!" feeling you get from the old art?
Sadly, the mechanics of the card haven't aged well either. Potentially a nice beater in draft, but anywhere else red has better choices.

Ideatog, I agree with you somewhat, but I actually feel like the is trying to represent the elemental hitting the ground and bracing like a meteor, see, the little molten paths in the rock where flame dropped, or the smoke trail?

While I agree with other comments that the original art is the best, still, a couple bonus points to this one for being drawn by someone with the last name 'Maniak.'
