On the one hand, it sucks when this becomes collateral damage to a Vandalblast
You get an overstatted creature that can draw you cards, that also makes all your other Merfolk less tempting targets thanks to the MTG Ward effect, and becomes indestructible super easily
In grindy games, though, being able to sandbag Burst Lightning until you can deal four damage to the opponent can make a huge difference

I would have also liked to see a Combust or a Fry for Red's Blue/White hoser, but they instead went with Mindsparker, which is an interesting choice when they also have choices like Devout Decree and Deathmark, which are very powerful removal spells
Protect your best creatures with temporarily indestructibility via Gyomes activated ability, or use it politically and offer to save an opponent's creature in exchange for a favor
