This is basically a sorcery version of Lightning Bolt, since your opponent will most likely not have untapped red man. Which allows for 8 three damage, one mana spells.

Not 8, but 16 rather. You can't forget Rift Bolt and Lava Spike (pretty janky, but it does what it needs to in straight burn, and that's hit the dome).
Great card.

Please explain what you mean by that 8 three damage, one mana spells.... your opponent has to fire the Chain Lightning back at you to continue the exchange of 3 damage.....right?

He means since you can only run for of any card in your deck, you can run 4 of these and four lightning bolts.

This card killed me in the first tournament game i ever played :(
Actually, you can run 20 legit 3pt 1cc burn spells in a Burn deck - Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning, Rift Bolt, Lava Spike, and Shard Volley. The only 3pt 1cc burn spell not worth playing is Sonic Seizure, which forces you to randomly discard a card.

This is crazy. You zap your opponent, your opponent zaps you, you zap your opponent...
No just joking.
Anyways great card.

Too bad the opponent can't pay {2} instead, that would be so much more fun!

While I doubt the second effect really ever comes into play you can't deny the power of this card, which is basically lightning bolts 5-8, with the disadvantage of being a sorcery.

It's decent for , but its a sorcery so I would prefer lightning bolt.

They should reprint this one when Lightning Bolt doesn't get reprinted anymore :)

A very good alternative (or addition) to Lightning Bolt. Even at sorcery speed its good to get 3 for . Your opponent probably won't have to spend if you are deciding to play this, but it can still be useful if you need that first strike to kill a creature.
You can use it to kill one of your own creatures when that is useful, and pay the extra to still hit an opponent, or as others said, its perfect for Stuffy Doll.
