It is true, Ember Shot is really bad. The strange thing is that you don't find many cards which come near to it in terms of functionality, at least in monored (dealing 3 damage and drawing a card).
With a blue splash I can just think of Electrolyze (just dealing 2 but with 2 possible targets) or a kicked Illuminate with =3 costing all in all but drawing three cards - both cards are uncommon and Illuminate just a sorcery. In the rare department we get Prophetic Bolt which is strictly superior.
It seems that the developers were very anxious that a cheap common cantripping burn spell would be quite dangerous for the environment (but, would you really play it at ... or even outside of limited?). Well, I'm sorry, way too many words on a bad card...

This is hilarious. Funny back in the days when they were trying to work out costs and effect ratio - where you get Time Walk for an extra turn at 2 mana, but attaching a cantrip to Lightning Bolt costs 6? These days its been more or less standardised to 2 or 3, but 6 is just insane, and it's funny to think there was ever a time when R&D thought otherwise.

The dumb part here is there is sort of a formula with cantrips that this card doesnt even follow. We wll use Volcanic Hammer as the base card here because back then that was the standard. Cantrip cost 2 colorless, and sometimes red card made it cost 1 more mana. that brings us to 4R at the highest. I still am not sure why they made this cost so much. That said...I am sure there is a place for this in a red deck somewhere that doesn't run blue

You guys are missing the obvious design here.
Flare is 2R. You draw one card and you do 1 damage. Obviously the colourless is to draw the card and the red is for the damage. This is a balanced spell because red is supposed to suck at cantrips.
Triple those two colourless mana = 6R. So you do one damage and draw three cards.
Wait, draw three cards? That isn't very red. Better make it do 3 damage.
MTG players bring poor cards to market, use good cards in their decks, and throw this complete junk away.

You guys don't understand why its casting cost is . Here's the true story.
First, what, exactly, is a burn spell? Ember Shot is you throwing burning coals at someone. Lightning Bolt is you siphoning the immense power of Mother Nature to summon forth a colossal bolt of electricity directed with pinpoint accuracy at a target that may be no larger than a fly.
They both deal 3 damage. Let me remind you: that's enough to kill a fully-grown elephant.
So yeah, that's some really damn good coal, but why the extra ?
Well, the dwarves would normally only sell you their worst coal, and it would cost you . But you're no pushover in the marketplace; you want the best of the best, and you WILL get what you want, standard trading conventions be damned! So you coerce and bribe your way into a single dwarven merchant's private coal stocks. There's some good dwarven coal there, and its dwarven owner is reluctantly willing to part with it for a mere .
But NO. You want the best of the best coal, not just some lame, second-rate, good coal. Yes, you want the real deal; dwarven military-grade coal. But no dwarf in their right mind would deal in weapons-grade fuel.
So you go to the black coal market. You scour the underground, looking for a dwarf shady enough to successfully smuggle the truly best of the best coal out of the dwarven military installations where they are stored. After literally DAYS of tireless, frantic searching, you find one such dwarf crouched in a small side-passageway, shrouded in shadows. He offers you the coal of your wildest dreams for the low price of , but you have to keep it on the down-low.
Adding in processing fees and the cost the time and resources expended during procurement, it comes to . The other is because you haven't been to the gym lately, and you can't throw it far enough without magic. Oh, and the card-draw comes from some bargain-bin spellbook you found while searching for the ideal coal.
What a deal guys, seven bolts for the price of one!
Oh, wait. It's one bolt for the price of seven. Uhm...

This is obviously a overflow bug. The card must deal 18 damage (6 lightning bolts + 1 mana for card draw) but magic only uses 4 bits for damage so the maximum is damage that can be dealt is 15. This cards resets the counter and overflows 3 damage.

No, no, no. See, you're paying 1R for the 3 damage, so Searing Spear. Then the card draw is an extra 1. Instant speed card draw adds another 1 onto that, so you have 3R. But it's gotta be inefficient if it doesn't cost you a card, so it adds on an extra 1. And as for that last 2 colorless mana? That's so that you can't play this and Storm Crow on the same turn. Otherwise it would be broken.
