i'd like it cheaper. 2RR or maybe even 1RR. yet on the other side it's still an already buffed version of Earthlink.

Had it in a multiplayer deck with Questing Phelddagrif and Grand Melee. Might be ineffective, but fun once it works. :)

This card is best in red burn decks with a lot of Pyroclasm effects. Once you start locking your opponents down by killing their creatures, you can safely start to cast your own to get in for those last point of damage. Might be expensive, but it's a pretty decent win condition - take away their lands, and they wont be much of a threat.

It would be better if it would be cheaper.

@True_Smog

Name me a few cards that wouldn't be better if they were cheaper.

Kerhan: Any card with cascade, or Scornful Egotist :P
Lateral: Doesn't change the fact, the test was just to name a few, right?

@izzet_guild_mage:

Those cards have high mana costs for a reason. Given their purpose, they wouldn't be as effective if they were cheaper.

Izzet:

Point taken. But they still would suck at a lower CMC. :D

Arguably, some sunburst cards.
Although, that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

This card can be amazingly effective against some decks in EDH. Generals like Kresh, Teysa or Rhys have to answer it if they want to win. It's even worse for Kiki-Jiki decks, because they have next to no means to deal with it.

Varchild's War Riders and Pyroclasm. Add in some Repercussions and Aether Flash to just twist the knife around a little harder.

Don't play this one if you like having friends.

Awesome card. Fun, balanced, cool art. The kind of card you wouldn't mind settling down with in holy matrimony
