If it was Instant speed it could kill Gideon. And I guess Erebos's Titan could maybe be a thing, conceivably?

You can hit Ulamog for X=1 then kill it with Ruinous Path or something. Granted, you are probably not winning that game. e: pretty sure Blaze effects are always rare now for limited reasons

They should stop printing Blaze effects then E: Or at least make them more effective than "This has Pillar of Flame's effect and removes an uncommon ability." It could at least be X+1.

Printing regular burn spells with a mediocre upside and upshifting their rarity has been a thing for a while now. Crater's Claws was a pretty big limited bomb though.

Yeah is this card really any different from something like Banefire? Crater's Claws does have a pretty real upside though, it was relevant in constructed for a while.

Craters' Claws is a pretty drat huge upside, really - there's a reason X spells tend not to be mana efficient. That's how you make a rare X spell.

this card is actually Disintegrate in terms functionality for its time and, much like Disintegrate, it's not good

Whenever Lightning Strike shows up again I don't expect it to be at common, either.

In these SCG Live events can you refuse to play on camera if they want you to or is it an auto loss?

I don't know why you'd play at a SCG main event if you had no desire to make it to the top tables, and there's zero chance they'd let you skip out in t8 even if they were okay with it during swiss.

The best part about SCG tournaments is that they include the player profiles.

At this weekend's Indianapolis Open, in addition to the the on-camera Standard Open, you could also participate in:
There's a lot to do at a large event that will keep you out of the spotlight - if you really don't want to be on camera, but absolutely refuse to settle for anything but the main event, i'd love to know why.

Do they favour having pros on camera though, or is that just because they play well and/or are seeded highly? I don't watch magic at all, but I've gotten on camera 2/3 opens I've been to, and both times were against pros apparently?

From my search the last Blaze effect printed below rare was actual Blaze in 10th Edition. Since then we've had Banefire, Crater's Claws, Demonfire, Devil's Play and Red Sun's Zenith at rare. The last time we had Blaze with upside below rare was Disintegrate in 5th edition, around 20 years ago. Ghitu Fire was already at rare by Invasion. e: actually my search missed Fireball which was in M12. Still they always seem to put "Blaze that's a bit harder to stop" at rare.
