    That card is actually interesting for aggro. 5 damage can kill a lot of things.

    What amuses me is the thought of this in something like Affinity, where it becomes scary one-shot removal, but your deck is so fast to begin with, why would you tarnish it with this?

    Now, I gotta be honest, in Limited, this is going to be hilarious, because if you put together any type of aggro in the format, this card becomes a ticking time bomb. Anywhere else, though...really meh. Burn at the Stake's better than this.

    Just saying, this doesn't sacrifice itself.

    It is repeatable, if you can manage to put 10 counters on it.

    ...Wait, I just read that again and noticed "to a player" isn't next to "deals combat damage."

    ...okay that's a little better than I thought

    Not really because this card can act like a repeatable removal. Also, lower CMC.

    Sure Hellrider is a super crazy card, but you can't just compare him to this card like that.

    Actually, you can. And Hellrider is better, but...this card isn't as bad as I thought it was.

    The lower CMC is usually not relevant. They both will usually do one thing: burn the opponent. You will never, ever need to burn a creature for five.

    Needing to attack five times is really, really not worth it. Especially when it doesn't provide quick value like Hellrider.

    It's not the worst card in the world, but it has no place in any decks this format.

    Yeah, Hellrider actually has power.
