This looks like a great card, but is it too good against control decks when you can likely finish them out by making them lose 8+ life?

Hellbent Ancient Craving is a nice option as well.

Indeed, it feels like you'll usually use this on yourself, and then occasionally to finish someone off. Which is perfectly fine, really.

Especially as the best time to use it for damage is as early as you can cast it - which is then a very risky thing to do.

Also compare to Storm Seeker I guess?

It's a better card than Storm Seeker. But that wasn't too high a hurdle to jump...
