Strictly better Fire Prophecy that also reminds me a lot of Magma Jet. This is better than your typical Incinerate variant any time you're not hitting your opponent directly. Seems like a nice option if you're looking for more card filtering or want to change up your Incinerate variants.
I have essentially 0 interest in burn that can't go to face unless it's super flexible like Abrade. This card isn't gonna change my mind on that. I think it's worse than every lightning strike variant, but if you're out of those and are already cubing abrade and want another non-face piece of burn, this is probably the next best 2-drop.

I've had pretty good success with things like Cathartic Pyre / Unholy Heat. I'm okay with burn spells not going to face as long as they can hit planeswalkers also / have some other mode or side effect. There's more to red than just aggro, things like Cathartic Pyre / Volcanic Spite are more preferable options for control / combo. I find Brainstorm's ability to put cards from your hand to your library to be very valuable since it's quite rare.

I see this almost as the red Remand. I could see this being very strong in combos with a lot of red combos. I like to hear other's test results before adding this.
I'm a bit shocked that we're getting Fire Prophecy+; the targeting restriction seemed like a reasonable tradeoff for getting card filtering stapled to removal. I still prefer Cathartic Pyre because it can filter without needing a target, but I'm definitely on board for Volcanic Spite.
I feel this + Fire Prophecy are ideal for Combo decks (WildFire, Artifacts, Storm, Reanimator, lands) to buy time against aggro + dig for their combo pieces.
I'm planning to play Fire Prophecy in addition to Volcanic Spite to try to provide slower decks more points of interactions against ramp/ aggro decks.
I've never been sorry to play this card. Removal plus card selection is a winning combination, and I'd play it over Incinerate. I like to have some burn that goes to the face, but it doesn't have to be all the burn.

I think they're different cards and especially with aggro being this dominate, having 3 Incinerate Variants + 2 Volcanic Spite feels great.
