I didn't know this card existed. Now that I do, my instant/ sorcery burn deck has my favorite kind of finisher! I love it! @ dberry - Fireball's converted mana cost is 1. In most circumstances, I'd call that a waste of 4 mana.
@Discoduck: While Fireball is on the stack, its converted mana cost is X+1. For example, that's the why you can't Counterbalance a Fireball by revealing another Fireball.

Fireball canverted mana cost, during cast, is X+R not 0+R. X is zero just in case the spell has not been cast (is everywhere except for the stack).
It's in the ruling 100% sure. There's the example of an X cost and if X is spent, the converted mana cost of the spell does include the X. If otherwise the card is not played (in hands, in the graveyard or deck) the X is zero.
Now then, question. For EDH, if someone has had their general killed over and over and over and is bringing it back in again, theoretically having to pay a CMC of 17 for it, would this card deal 17 damage to them?

@MyrBattlecube: No, the commander's converted mana cost is the same. It's an additional cost, applied only when casting from the command zone.

Looks to be a potentially devastating card, especially when paired up with any card able to copy it. Increasing Vengeance, Izzet Guildmage, Reiterate, and Wort, the Raidmother are the first cards to come to mind and are at least partially in the correct color. This way you don't need to rely on them playing something huge to deal them a large amount of damage.
Also, if I'm going to lose my hand due to Hypnox anyways...

@KryptNyt
Actually you can since this spell doesn't counter it and protection doesn't apply until it enters the battlefield.

Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, though on this one I happened to have a Djinn Illuminatus on the field and he wanted to kill it with Ulamog. That was a no go.
