Crazy how the best Red card I've seen so far totally wrecks my Spitfire deck. http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=114411&d=1295557874 One of the main reasons I was able to wreck Valakut so bad is because if they didn't have Lightning Bolt in hand for Chandra's Spitfire they simply just lost. Pyroclasm by itself just couldn't do it. But now this thing? Wow. Wrecks my deck as a bigger "clasm" effect that hits everything but Phoenix (and happens to leave Overgrown Battlement and Baloth alive).Of course, I'll be trying to get 3 foil for my sb against aggro though.

Not really sure how this is a rare though, with the precedent being set with V-Fallout at the same cost. :/ |

I got the same vibe too. Probably wouldn't want every single red splash deck in limited to being playing 1-2 main. Makes for slow games. Just thought about Elves and Boros vs this. Doesn't look too good. Always sneaking out of Pyroclasm range and such. Probably see a lot of Knight decks at FNM too so it can't hurt against them either.

Because it is an improved version of Flamebreak, which was from Darksteel and was Rare as well. |

No I don't I have to look at precedence. RR1- INSTANT- CANNOT BE COUNTERED- 2 DMG TO PLAYERS AND CREATURES RR1- SORCERY- CHOOSE ONE-..... Bad. Just plain bad compared to what they have already printed. It will still see play though. |

I disagree. Because Pyroclasm is easier to play and there are no Faeries.

I dont think your getting what im saying. Im saying fallout was uncommon because thats what cards like this should be in constructed that I dont disagree with. But for that blocks limited (shards block) creatures ass's were usually 3 or bigger so it didnt need to be a rare. This locks limited 3 damage to everything will usually be a board sweeper in more cases than not so it needed to be a rare for limited purposes. So no im not arguing ith you about presedences because forconstructed and in general I completely agree with you, Im just saying a reason that I think they made this a rare. |

I see what you are saying. So, 3 dmg kills 4/4 untargettables? |

Fallout was uncommon so that budget players could fight Faeries. And, as Paul already mentioned, the average toughness in Alara block limited was higher. I don't think that one Mythic Troll greatly affects the limited environment. |
