This probably doesn't crack the top 3 red 5 drops, but it could be an interesting option for large cubes looking for a flashy discard outlet. Nice in Wildfire too.
EDIT: That's an embarrassing typo... can a mod please fix?
This card seems really bad. It's a five drop that fails the Vindicate test, and even if it doesn't, the payoff is not huge. Can't hit players, costs mana to trigger, and limited by the size of your other cards.

There are better madness enablers if you want that kind of thing. Not saying it's bad, but I wouldn't be shocked if there are a few uncommons I take over this as the format progresses.
It's gonna be a pretty rough sell with Kiki-Jiki, Dark-Dwellers, Thunderbreak, Siege-Gang, Zealous Conscripts and others like Stormbreath (and arguably Eldrazi Obligator) as competition. :/
If this has Haste and the discarded card dealt damage to the face and didn't cost 1R, perhaps? Red Fives have a lot of really good options at 360-540 making this probably a flex slot for 540+ Cubes...that value average discard outlets.
Yeah this is awful. Since it's not a potential cube card at any size, I will say I think it's probably ridiculous in limited. 5/5 for 5 is good in limited, and this can pretty easily take over a game.

It would be great at uncommon, but boring at rare.
I used to write cube articles on StarCityGames, now for GatheringMagic and podcast about cube (w/Antknee42.)
