Ah, the Cannon-Firing Cannon. I emember when Eric showed me this oh so redundant card.
But that's not important. This card has its ups and its downs. Deck-thinning, destruction and low Mana Cost are the ups. Easy destruction, slow speed and limited target variety are downs. I personally wouldn't run this card, but it's still good. 3.5/5 for me.

Redundancy is fun!
Cannon-Firing Cannon is epic win on a stick in the oh-so-young game of Shmod. It's themeless Monster Destruction. On the turn you first play it, you'll be able to play another from your deck. That means you can kill a Level Two monster for Two Mana.
Some may consider this inferior to the also humourously-named Sar-Chasm, and in some ways it is. Sar-chasm can destroy any Level monster, but only if you have a monster that's probably strong enough to do the job without Sar-chasm. And that's where Cannon-Firing Cannon comes in useful; a deck with low-level, or just low-stat monsters.
'Course, if you use Cannon-Firing Cannon on a high-level monster, you'll be short Monster Destruction from your deck. This is bad.
Basically, both Sar-chasm and Cannon-Firing Cannon are good cards. It'd take testing to figure out which is best for your kind of deck. I'll give it a 4/5 for being one of about two themeless Monster Destroyers.
