so, aside from that being terribly hard to read, not all of those are really fireball versions. They are all XR burn spell variations. Earthquake is closer in functionality to fireball in its mass destruction side.
i presume what you really mean is, what is the best version of blaze, because fireball is inherently different from all of the other versions, in that it can kill multiple creatures.
as for my vote, i go for kaervek's torch because it's very hard to counter, (yeah, demonfire can be uncounterable, but it's very situational).

What in the name of all that's holy are you smoking????
Sure, stuff like Snapping Drake and Goblin Piker are for limited. But Null isn't even playable against a 5 year old whose hand consists of a 6 of Clubs, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Chimney Imp, and a very large cumquat.
Ghitu Fire isnt as good as volcanic eruption as it costs 2RX instead of RRX for instant.
Anyway Rolling is best for kill stuff, torch/demon best for win.
I'd say Demonfire is the best... uncounterability and non-preventable are good game enders

Demonfire is probably the best, but Disintegrate will always be dear to me. It was the first card that I ever opened and thought "OMG AWESOME!" and I adore the original art on it.

@Mortal Wombat: I completely agree...I forgot that it could target players.
Kaervek's Torch was my favourite, but Rolling Thunder is more versatile, albeit a little mana hungry. Uncounterability is nice, but with a dedicated burn deck, your opponent can only counter so much.

Agreed. Demonfire is probably the best, in my opinion, because of the uncounterability and non-preventable damage, but this doesn't mean that it isn't counterable all the time.
A Blue deck can respond by making the Demonfire, who presumably has Hellbent, draw, thus "static-off"ing Hellbent, and countering it.
Fireball would have been my choice, but then having seen that Fireball has no purpose nowadays, I changed my mental-vote to the Demonfire.
I haven't really like Kaervek's Torch, and I don't really like it now, for some odd reason. If the text just said "Kaervek's Torch can't be countered by spells and abilities." I might have voted it as best, but I just can't.
I enjoy good ol' Fireball, it's a classic. But I just checked out that Demonfire and je je je JEBUS it's noice. I wouldn't mind having four of those anyday. I'll go with that I suppose.
IMO Fireball > Demonfire because the possiblity of hitting multiple targets is strong in constructed and more so in limited. I think that I'd also have added Starstorm to the list.
You know fireball, disintegrate, and lava burst are all common too right?
Incidentally, I love fireballs versatility. Its expensive to hit a creature and player, but you can still do pin-point damage as cheap as any other x-burn.
Of the listed ones, I gotta go with the torch. But I really like Rolling thunder and earthquake, even though neither of them have anything to do with fire.
based on the list... demonfire, because, by the time it is your win condition, you should be hellbent and going uncounterable/unpreventable to the dome. and that's just good. the torch would be second.

Call me old fashioned, but I went with good old "Fireball. Sure it can be countered, but once your not playing against blue. Fireball is cooler then all those cards by far.
I can't actually believe that some people here vote Blaze; I mean, as much as the flavor text is cool and all, and as much as this card is one of mtg's icons, it still strickly worst than the others. What gives?
i have to say fireball. i opened one in the first pack i ever opened and have always loved it. you can take out multiple creatures with it, it plays nice with channel. simply a classic.
B. Ghitu Fire
C. Demonfire
D. Blaze
E. Disintegrate
F. Kaervek's Torch
G. Lava Burst
My Vote: Ghitu Fire.

Earthquake is closer in functionality to fireball in its mass destruction side.If you are just interested in pure burn X spells, there are a few you missed. Fanning the Flames and Illuminate are pretty cool. Meteor Shower and Rolling Thunder are pretty darn close to true fireball varients.
Of the listed ones, I like Demonfire best cause uncounterable win conditions are solid.

I think I voted for Torch, but I think Volcanic Geyser should be up there more than the Ghitu Fire.
