This is a finishing move, to be sure. If it fails, you will be the one hurting. Anyway, get the Firecat Blitz in your graveyard (you want the flashback cost here), with Mana Echoes on the field.

Tap all your lands for mana, then flashback the blitz, sacrificing all of them. Get tokens equal to the number of lands you sacrificed, then the mana echoes gives you that number squared in colorless mana. Any number over 5, and an X-cost burn spell like the above Fireball is a 20+ shot to your opponent's face.

I like it. Though limited in multiplayer potential

The potential is still there, it just takes more lands to do it. Using fireball as the basis, to take out 3 opponents at 20 life, you need 63 mana (one red, two extra mana for extra targets, 60 mana to divide between the targets). Sacrifice 8 lands to the Firecat Blitz, that makes 8 tokens and 64 colorless mana. Then you just need to provide one red and let the fire fly.

It would of course be far more cost efficient to use Comet Storm, since then the X cost only has to be 20 instead of 60. The Fireball was just a classic/vintage X-spell that came to mind first.

Heck, with Comet Storm, you could hit 3 opponents for 20 on turn 5. I may just go build this as an old school deck. A lot of ways to go for finishers off this basis.
