Funny card, funnier flavor text.

kinda like a pyroclasm on crack.

This is how Smokey the Bear got his nickname. And community service doing adds for the forestry department.

once i played i guy who had all red dragons that flew this would be a good card for him

This is the Pyromaniacs' Earthquake. And it's better. Fire always wins.

My favourite red card, hands down. If I'm going to lose I just Flamebreak myself to deny my opponent the satisfaction. If I can't win, at least I can choose how I die.

The art, flavour text, cost, effect. I love this card more than people. It's not every day you see organs in Magic art.

so much cooler than slagstorm ;_;

That flavor text sounds like one of Jaya Ballard's aphorisms.

Breath of Darigaaz 4 damage for , but doesn't stop regen.

So good. I want to use it in my Tajic EDH deck so badly, but the 3 red mana is a little tough. I may throw it in anyway though :D thing is, I'd rather take the 'safer' route and use slagstorm since it's almost like this card, but can very easily be cast.

I love it. I adore it. It's magnificent. It's not the best card in the world, sure, but it's cost-effective, and it fills a certain niche.

But that's not why I love it.

It just... looks nice, you know? And not just the art. It's just overall a very aesthetically pleasing card. Sure, the art is fantastic, but it just contributes to a larger feeling of goodness and simplicity that the card has. The {R}{R}{R} mana cost, the fun, simple name, the modern card frame... hell, even the "rare" expansion symbol looks right, and adds something to the visual appeal of the card. It just all fits.

The only thing I can really complain about is the Sorcery typing. It mars the inherent beauty of the card. "Instant" would have looked so much better. Of course, then it would have been a much better card, too, so... I'll take what I can get. Still, 5/5.

Good midrange control. And that is hard to get. Personally I'd rather play Pyroclasm for hitting pesky white blue flyers or Earthquake for it's splashiness, but this is a totally viable alternative, and better in many circumstances.

Anger of the Gods says hi.

These pretzels are making me thirsty!
