Good for forcing unopposed successes I suppose, but the fact that it's telegraphed means you'll probably never actually get to assign the extra wounds. The opponent will just stay away, or block with one guy who has Toughness or Invulnerability, rather than voluntarily walk into a Bloodbath. I suppose some "lure" effects would support this card, but now we're talking a lot of set-up for a marginal pay-off. Who is going to pay 3 for a bloodless Bloodbath?
Bloodbath might enable you to close the game out, succeeding at a closely contested third story and denying the opponent a premptive (I) win. This is more a Story Winning than a Wounding card I think.
