this is famous for its interactive combination with simic ragworm

Furystoke Giant doesn't make your other permanents work, though.

I could see this becoming a game-ender in a deck that makes lots of tokens, but outside of that you might get five damage out of this on a good day. It's average.

HA! It can make your planeswalkers tap to do damage.

Does this card effect things that come into play after the spell itself is played?

There was actually a short-lived Vintage combo with this card and Time Vault, back when the wording of Time Vault allowed you to untap it and skip an infinite number of turns into the future.

I prefer Furystoke Giant. Also, how does it interact with Simic Ragworm? The islands that you're tapping for that blue mana could ALSO be tapped for damage.
@Belz_: Yeah, it depends on the deck. Most times though, 2 * creatures > permanents - 4.

This is a late-game card for sure. In a token deck it's insane, but it's also handy creature removal in an average deck, especially if you don't want to tap your creatures.
It might be funny to splash this in a blue deck featuring Horseshoe Crab and Soliton.

DaanZ likes to make up non-existent combos.

Simic ragworm and Tolarian Academy, of course

I wonder how your lands and enchantments hold those fire spears? Does oblivion ring suddenly apparate the creature it holds and force it against its will to hurl it?

@Lazyblazey you gain nothing by combining this with untap guys, since your land get the ping ability too...

Don't really get why it synergizes with pay to untap creatures. You can just tap the lands themselves to deal the damage, so tapping them of mana to untap a creature doesn't gain you anything. Unless you had a bunch of permanents that tapped for more than one mana.

The art's a little deceiving, since it's a bunch of dudes with flame spears in their hand. Mind you, I don't think having a Mountain wielding a spear or a Runechanter's Pike throwing a secondary phantasmal version of itself with it's non-existent arms would've made sense in the art either.
That would've been retardedly awesome, though.

This does not need Horseshoe Crab or Simic Ragworm. If you tap an Island to untap a Crab for one more damage, you could've just tapped that Island for one more damage instead since Flame Fusillade says all permanents.

Gets an interesting tweak in Born of the Gods's Lightning Volley--you can only use creatures, but it's an instant rather than a sorcery.

nice with enchantments equipment planeswalkers and anything else that doesn't normally tap.

For those of you saying how you don't get why it synergies with pay to untap creatures.... Remember that in the entire card game of magic the gathering the ONLY way to add mana to your pool is to tap a land for it. Yup thats the only way folks.
