You know, I had a couple different people who thought this was a reprint when we drafted 20XX. I guess that's a good sign. The card is a believable Magic card. Maybe it's just that this is the card people thought Cackling Flames should have been. There's nothing wrong with that card... 5 damage for {3} {r} seems good to me... but the card has a rating of 1.82 on Gatherer anyway. Goes a long way to show what people like and demand from their cards...

What about this has to do with ice?

by jmgariepy:

The picture helps, which isn't present right now. It's supposed to be 4 damage from a fire spell, and 4 damage from an ice spell. Magic has used extreme cold for direct damage spells in the past (for example, Glacial Ray and Skred), but, I admit, the further away we get from Champions and Coldsnap, the less sense this begins to make.

Now that I think about it, it doesn't help that there's a card called Fire // Ice. I'm sure people will be looking for the parallels when there are none. I suppose this needs a new name, eh?
