It can be difficult to justify giving anyone extra cards, but if they have six in hand, dealing ten damage for 4RB and a few extra cards still feels like good value
After a creature leaves the battlefield, it does briefly enter whatever zone it was put into before it ceases to exist
If damage from a noncreature source is prevented this way, Comeuppance deals that much damage to the source's controller
