Burning Sun's Fury is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
Convoke (Your creatures can help cast this spell. Each creature you tap while casting this spell pays foror one mana of that creature's color.) Up to two target creatures each get +2/+0 and gain haste until end of turn.
Complete guide
Burning Sun's Fury is a versatile combat trick that harnesses the power of your battlefield to deliver sudden, aggressive strikes. By utilizing the convoke keyword, it allows your creatures to fuel the fires of war without spending a single drop of mana.
Understanding Convoke
The primary strength of Burning Sun's Fury is convoke. While casting this spell, you can tap any untapped creature you control to pay for {1} or one mana of that creature's color. This includes creatures with 'summoning sickness,' as you are not using an ability with the tap symbol, but rather paying a cost. Tapping an attacking or blocking creature for convoke does not remove it from combat.
Resolving the Boost
You can choose zero, one, or two target creatures as you cast the spell. Upon resolution, each target gains +2/+0 and haste until the end of the turn. If you targeted two creatures and one becomes an illegal target before resolution, the remaining creature will still receive the bonus. If all targets are illegal, the spell will fail to resolve and go to the graveyard with no effect.
Strategic Timing
Because this is an instant, you can cast it during your main phase to grant haste to a newly played creature, or during the declare blockers step to surprise your opponent with extra damage. Remember that convoke is applied after any cost increases or reductions, making it an excellent way to bypass tax effects like those found in Commander games.
Interaction examples
On your turn, you cast a creature and it enters the battlefield. Since it doesn't have haste, it normally couldn't attack. You cast Burning Sun's Fury, tapping two other creatures you already control to pay the {1}{R} cost via convoke. You target the new creature; it gains +2/+0 and haste, allowing it to attack immediately.
Chaos WarpYou cast Burning Sun's Fury targeting two of your creatures. An opponent responds by casting Chaos Warp on one of them. The targeted creature is shuffled away. When Burning Sun's Fury attempts to resolve, it checks its targets. Since one target is still valid, that creature successfully gains +2/+0 and haste.
Deflecting SwatYou cast Burning Sun's Fury targeting two of your powerful attackers. Your opponent casts Deflecting Swat. Since Burning Sun's Fury targets 'up to two' creatures, the opponent can change the targets to their own blockers or even zero targets. If they change the targets to their creatures, those creatures gain the +2/+0 boost instead of yours.
