[Card] Power Surge

[Wallace]

So I was playing Shandalar the other day and Power Surge was played on me. After a little bit I had a thought, could this card fit into my Legacy burn based decks? Discuss.

At the beginning of each player's upkeep, Power Surge deals X damage to that player, where X is the number of untapped lands he or she controlled at the beginning of this turn.

I assume this would be used to hose control decks, no? If so, aren't there better cards to beat on blue?

It's terrible. All control needs is a mana sink (Mishra's Factory and Sensei's Divining Top being the most likely option) and they will never take a single point of damage from this.
