Seems like a pretty solid removal spell.
Sorcery speed hurts it a little bit, but being able to just get rid of any 4 toughness creature is always good for red decks.
Roast that deals 1 less damage but exiles. I don't know if it's the overall composition of the card along with the art but I think I really like this. Roast saw play during Tarkir standard, if I remember correctly and this can also hit flyers. Extremely good in limited, needless to say.
Also lol at that flavor text.

Very nice. I don't have all the creatures for GRN yet but for the other creatures which will remain in Standard this kills about 85% of them. A decent replacement for Cut // Ribbons.

Unpopular opinion: sorcery-speed removal is *not* as terrible as you think it is.
It, by itself, doesn't actually have to kill the creature to exile it. So if I hit a 5/5 with it, then give that creature -1/-1 the creature will get exiled anyways?

This also hits fliers, which Roast did not which is extremely relevant (Phoenix, Bolas, ...)
lol on the flavor. I guess the ashes is at least an evidence.

"Commander, we've caught the Phoenix and took its ashes into custody" - Kramm, Wojek security officer
"You did what?" - Commander, last words before garrison catches fire
Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!

FLAVOR FAIL.
IMA Need x4 FOILS ASAP!
Constructed, it will probably be sideboard against Rekindling Phoenix.
