Blazing Bomb deals 2 damage to each opponent and each planeswalker for two mana — reasonable reach in multiplayer, but the effect is too small to matter at most tables. It's a bulk rare for a reason.

In Commander, Blazing Bomb has a narrow niche: three opponents means six total damage on resolution, which is relevant in burn-adjacent strategies like Nekusar, the Mindrazer or Toralf, God of Fury that want to stack small pings. Outside of those shells, two damage per player doesn't move the needle fast enough to justify a slot. In 1v1 formats like Modern, Pioneer, and Legacy, Blazing Bomb competes against far more efficient two-mana plays and won't see serious play. Pauper is where cheap, repeatable damage matters most, but Blazing Bomb is a one-shot sorcery — it can't keep up with the format's best burn.
