Conflagrate deals damage spread across any number of targets — creatures, planeswalkers, players — and the flashback cost means your discard pile pays for a second casting. In Rielle, the Everwise builds that draw-and-discard engine, Conflagrate is both a payoff and a finisher.

Rielle, the Everwise
Rielle, the Everwise rewards you for discarding cards, and Conflagrate's flashback cost is paid entirely in discards — the more you've churned through your hand, the bigger the second cast hits, often for lethal across three opponents.

In Commander, Conflagrate earns its slot in any deck that generates discard-pile depth — it scales into a table-wide finisher when flashbacked for X equal to your graveyard count. Legacy and Vintage have seen it in dredge shells where the flashback cost is trivially met after a few dredge triggers, making it a free win condition stapled to a madness-style enabler. Modern dredge has used it in the same role, though the format's speed and graveyard hate make it more sideboard-adjacent than a main-deck staple. Outside graveyard-centric strategies, Conflagrate underperforms — a vanilla X-spell with no built-in selection isn't worth the slot.
