This is a classic. On paper it's overcosted, but that's a quarter of your opponent's health in one hit. Blazing Salvo is comparable but feels worse since your opponent can chose to foil your plan, even if it hurts them. I like this art better than 7th's.

This isn't a great card, but it is generally underrated. I use this along with cruel ultimatum as my kill condition in a dralnu based R/U/B control deck.

This is a great card to bring back with anarchist too.

You know what I like about this card? That there isn't any thought behind it. It's purely an aggressive, hit'em where it counts kind of card and I can really appreciate that - especially for red. Not to say that red doesn't require thought, but red is about rage and acting on impulse (lightning elemental anyone?). So when I draw this card, I know that they'll at least be taking 5 damage this turn, plus whatever I decide to attacke with. 3.5/5
