It's a Shock trying to do a powered-down Tribal Flames impression from the graveyard. It's better in that you don't need the complete basics, but worse in that even on 5-color your first shot is never 5 damage.
I don't think i'll ever see a good card with converge. The mechanic just stinks.

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.

Really hard for a mechanic that wants you to pump 5 different colours of mana into something to be good. Like think just how good a card would have to be for that to be worth it in Modern. 5 mana is already a big ask of any card in Modern, let and out when you want 5 colours of mana as well.

The mechanic is simple, its kinda X spell for colors.
But the real problem is, WotC is making ALL of these converge cards somewhat overcosted in any mode that isnt all 5-colors.
If you can pay 5 mana, and all different colors, you are rewarded, but thats still a 5-mana spell you cast, and thats just flat out terrible in almost any format in existence (if its too slow for standard, you have a problem with your mechanic).
This here is 2 damage for 2 and 5 for 5 flashback, thats quite good in "standard", but pretty demanding in modern+.
Could probably be just be an XR and flashback for 4R , that would make it a good card no matter what (the real cherry on top would be instant).

Oddly enough, they already made sunburst way back. They should've given a more "kick" to it be honest. Like not just X, but X+1 or twice X etc - something like that so that it can be more appealing.
Interesting way to allow you to use Converge to get to more than 5 of whatever (without using "twice" et cetera). This can be Converge - pay 7 mana to deal 7 damage. I like the idea, even if the card is weak. Next could be a creature that does "1 of XY for each color spent", than allows to pay again to repeat "1 of XY for each color spent" as an ETB trigger or something like that.
