"Not much"? On average this sums to around 800-1000 damage if you call the base monsters, and if you correctly call the big boss monsters, 1400-1500 damage. 2500 if you get ambitious and predict correctly. In comparison to Ookazi and Tremendous Fire, that is a pretty big deal, and I'd run it in Burn Decks for the additional opportunity to peek through an opponent's Deck(s) if I somehow fail.

I like how it requires some effort to use, unlike a Chain Strike or something that just slaps onto a combo without regard to what Deck your opponent runs.

 

That being said it's a fair bit of damage for a Normal Spell Card, 1200+ if you call an Extra Deck monster. But you can't use it on the first turn because you don't know what your opponent's running, and it can fail if their hand contains all the copies.
