I like how you can just kill the Scorpion God by impaling it. I hope they know it can come back from the grave! Or maybe it's just a huge story -> card mechanic fail.
Lets see how it all plays out. In the story today its head was blasted to dust but then was able to be reformed so something more happened to end it.
Djeru: How do we kill something that can't be killed? Samut: Simple. We find a way to kill the unkillable. How about that big rock over there?
The key to making HUF work is to run a deck full of cards you want to cast regardless. Firebrand Archer can score 4 on each opponent if you hit four red noncreature spells, and with Impact Tremors and Tunneling Geopede, any card you hit will ping each opponent. Add Reckless Fireweaver for artifact triggers, possibly doubling up with Archer or Tremors. Also consider that if you can copy HUF, you can exile additional cards. Shoot, with the right deck HUF can essentially be a red Enter the Infinite + Omniscience, for CMC <=5 anyway.

Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.

Meet Puncturing Blow. Kills the Scorpion God, exiles it so it can't come back, and can even be cast off of Hazoret's Undying Fury. Flavor WIN!
