Nivmagus Elemental on a Burn deck sideboard?

I don't play burn, but when I was reminded today of the existence of Nivmagus Elemental , it occurred to me that it might be really good as a sideboard card against control and other counterspell-heavy decks. Simply cast one of your big burns like Boros Charm or Warleader's Helix during your precombat main phase, and if they counter it, you're almost guaranteed to get at least half of the damage back. Thoughts?

It's definitely solid in Heroic decks as well, especially when you're using Hidden Strings .

Not a very high impact card. You'd rather be boarding in Firedrinker Satyr against control

Really all it would do it make some of the opponents removal live. Firedrinker Satyr or another burn spell have higher likelihood of pushing damage through. It would be an awful top deck as well.
