Good with roo***er thief, but it costs much too much for it's conditional damage.

You can't say Roo***er? Root Water. Oh, and Mindblaze isn't that good.

While a card that combos well with this one sees regular tournament play, this one will definitely not. The card is Jester's Cap, by the way. 6 CMC for such an unreliable effect is way, way too much.

Works better in EDH where everything is a 1-of, although 8 damage isnt much

Sadistic Sacrament to look through and get rid of some cards in their deck.
Or Jester's Cap if you dislike the BlackBlackBlack cost.

Interesting that it reveals that player's library...

Strictly better than Kodama's Reach...

I can see this only being somewhat effective in singleton formats. But there's better things to be doing with 6 mana in red. Good point Andon, I can't think of anything else off the top of my head that lets you look at their entire library. Seems like there could be some use for that somewhere...

I like how they gave this card a tournament constructed ability and then gave it a cost to make it virtually unplayable competitively.

5Red should just give you 8 damage, no?
We have sorin's vengeance now, 2 more damage and 10 life for 1 more cmc.

My deck consists of Swamps and Relentless Rats.

Come at me bro.

It is a good finisher playing against decks I know. It is always fun guessing. Blazing away with fire was never my style. I like the less obvious red stuff. Just that, given its flavor, I am surprized it is not blue and red. Blue for the mind, red for the blaze.

See hidetsugu's second rite, cerebral eruption and fiery gambit for more reliable wacky burning.

Omg why is this card so bad? I was expecting 'and each creature they control' at the end, and had to reread the card like 3 times to see that it is indeed that bad.

After ALL that work, you get an 8 damage lava axe for 1 more mana. WTF!?!

I always lose it when I see "reveals his or her library". I would play this just to annoy my opponent with having to show all of us each and every card they have in there. The card kinda sucks otherwise but damn it is funny to think about.

Combos with Psychogenic Probe to make it 10 damage.

would be so awesome in edh if they didn't print it as a 6 mana for x damage burn spell... that red can so easily do a lot better with.

3 mana maybe, and it would have been an acceptable card that still wouldn't see much play in edh, but it would have still been worthwhile. At it's cost :/
