I've always wanted to see all five colors incorporated into the art for this card to fit the flavor, instead it just looks like another Pyromatics, cool, but not fitting.

One of the few cards that has been printed at 3 different rarities and hasn't been included in a From the Vault.

(Art rant)
I don't see so much what's tribal about the flames on this art (other than the fact that there appear to be three tribes about to inflict 3 damage to the creature depicted).

Then again, how are you supposed to depict tribal flames in the first place?
The original art, although more easily recognized by most players than the new art, didn't look all that tribal either.

The new art seems to try to visualize the Domain effect though by making the flames emerge from the land - although they are about five meters apart from each other so there's basically no way for more than one land - likely a Mountain - being involved in this spell.

Not playable.

Upgraded to uncommon? Sometimes I wonder if wizards bases rarity of some cards on the likelihood of it actually making its way into a deck...
