No it isn't. One alters an entire domain dynamic, the other is limited to a single card. Trying to claim that opposing duration on one thing means it should be opposed across the board is horribly fallacious logic.
And I never said I didn't like Flash Powder. Learn to read in context.

Of course that isn't entirely fair and forcing people to maintain minimum distances between their characters is a very harsh penalty, especially based only on a possibility and when terrain penalties are high. Or you could say that if you're that concerned, cards that reveal the other player's hand works just as well.

Well, you can play as intelligently as you like, but basically if you have 3 creatures attacking a building, they have to be centered around something. And MF has enough direct damage capacity to take out creatures that are standing off as observers using, say, a volcano.
I do like your suggestion that volcano be made 3/1- having it able to destroy Great Oaks, Altar of Ix, and early stage Bone Fortresses is a little much in my opinion. Plus it still creates a mountain, which can be used for avalanche.
But yeah, Flash Powder should be tweaked

Hey tryste, i think you took that a little more serious than the intent with which it was offered. this is just a game after all.

Yeah, Volcano is overpowered.
And that gnomish powder is rather ok. I mean, it leaves everyone alive and content. No explosions and ripped limbs... boring.

yak are people actually suggesting more random effects... no thanks
Powder does seem a little powerful imo but not over the top. ie you can work around it. but making it last x turn might balance it. Id suggest 3 rounds off the top of my head.

as far as i can tell this spell isn't really unbalanced. it's very good, but doesn't need to be changed.
