how can this be rated significantly less than Prodigal Sorceror? Do that many people really just 'splash' blue to add Tims? If you have lots of blue mana sources, the Firewalker is strictly better than Tim.

Splashable Tims are good if you're doing the obvious R/U deck...
the main reason i like this guy is because other pingers cant take him out. If bowth players are rocking pingers who ever gets one out first usually gets to keep his, and sense most new pingers are red, pro red on a pinger really helps keep him out.

Oh look, another one of dem firewalkers. Though this guy is the original. Must be a planeswalker who travelled to Zendikar to teach Mr. Kor Firewalker.

A tim that won't fall to targeted burn? Worth the slightly more restrictive cost!
I need some advice here. I recently played with a few friends and one of them used magmaquake to kill all my creatures. They argued that it worked since the damage was indirect. Would that indeed work to kill this creature?
I am also curious if deathtouch and/or lifelink actually work with wizards like this that deal direct damage. I thought that the damage from their abilities didn't count as combat damage, but I see that Basilisk collar was suggested to be used with this card.
@Kevlar_Axis: Yeah, that'll kill it: This card can only not be targeted by red spells or abilities, and Magmaquake doesn't target. If it had PROTECTION from red then the damage would be prevented by the protection ability, but in this case the firewalker does not.

Still falls to pyroclasm, and only effective if they have x/1 creatures against red. Of course you can combo with deathtouch or something.

Also, Tim has power if someone's rocking Detainment Spell (?).
