Cackling Flames' ugly grandfather. Except Flames can target players and still isn't very good.

What an underpowered card! 5 for 3 is crap. And even with the threshold it's still only 5 damage. a card that is pretty much worthless.

I would rather play Beacon of Destruction.

When there are so many red spells that have the option of directing damage to target creature or player why ever run this?

At first I gave this a 0.5.

Then I re-read the card and realized that it can only target creatures.

I then spent the next few minutes desperately willing the rating system to allow me to give this a 0.

As of 3/29/11, this was the lowest rated card in gatherer.

And it's not even in Homelands!

Odyssey had an abysmal lineup of burn, some were playable like Blazing Salvo, then we got this overcosted cardboard which is worse than Lightning Blast

0.5/5, shame the good art is wasted on a super poor card

an ugly card; bad art, bad effect, no flavor. It would be a poor card even if it dealt five damage by default.

I like the card, I absolutely despise the art.

Don't be so hard on this card guys. He grows up to be Brimstone Volley! Like a Magikarp growing into a Gyrados.

So, uh, Lava Axe.

Nope, you're wrong, guys. This is NOT worse than "Acceptable" Losses. This card shouldn't even be on the bottom 50 cards of all time. I mean, would you actually prefer a Mammoth Harness over this?

How you cross Dr. Manhattan with the Heatmesier and get something so worthless is beyond me.

If only Sorrow's Path could produce mana, then you could use it to cast this.

At first I read it and thought it seemed a good card. Then I looked at the CMC and took everything back, I mean this could be okay if you'd cut it to like {R}{R} or {2}{R}!

You too, children, can have a thunderous wrath-like burn spell IF you have 7 cards in your graveyard, for the "low" mana cost of {4}{R}!

Complete crap without threshold, and crap with threshold. But at least it can slay a baneslayer angel righT? Would be understandable if it said creature or player.
