I really can't think of a response other than that to this card. I just started to laugh once it "clicked". That's quite a funny ability for mass burn.
But then again its only dealing 2 or 3 damage most of the time and the instant speed of Volcanic Fallout can be pretty relevant.
It's a good answer to decks that are playing Conqueror's Pledge with Baneslayers. Perfect Wrath for Red. Except that stupid hoser called Kor Firewalker is killing red. A much needed card for me against Vampires too. Vampires is 50-50 for me but with this card, it's potentially better now.
In an eight player game, is anything good? Don't you just sit there countering combos until someone genesis waves for 42 after all the blue players tap out fighting over a bribery?
I love this card. Red Wrath is fun. I'll need about 5 of these...4 for my Counterburn deck and 1 for my U/R Chaos EDH deck. (It really IS a red Wrath in EDH)
Would have been better at Instant speed since it would wreak elves in extended as well as a multitude of other decks in extended and standard. Not as good in this standard since a lot of stuff has haste and bushwhacker gives them it if they don't. This would be such a better instant since then you could super screw bushwhacker decks. Either way not bad, my guess would be the second rare in one of the intros.
I don't like my sweepers with a "maybe" clause, and can't see myself ever choosing this over Pyroclasm or Fallout MD. It could end up being an interesting SB choice though.

That's like red's DoJ. Got to love it.
EDIT: And it could hit Jwar Jwar Sphinx. Conditionally of course but it isn't that bad.
