Nice. But Hellspark Elemental is slighlty better because of it's unearth.

This should have stayed a common, but this guy is nice, like a cheaper, one-shot Hellspark Elemental. Three damage for one is always nice.

One of my favorites. Glad to see it back but wish it had new art..

An O-Naginata on the field literally turns this into Ball Lightning.

Lightning Bolt, I found a hot date for you.

I love opening with this turn one before my opponent has even had a chance to drop a land.

It also combos well with the teetering peaks that come in the deck for a nice 5 swing turn 2.

And Hellspark isn't really better or worse, just different. He costs double as much to do the same damage, both times. Flexibility but loss of mana efficiency. Personally, I run both since I find they serve different purposes (but compliment each other well).

Good with Assault Strobe, not to mention Fling.

Maybe one of the best uses is in a deck with Haakoon, Stromgald Scourge and Ashes of the Fallen.

@Bursama: Hellspark Elemental costs 1R. This costs R. I'd rather run this in most cases.

Sothasil says everything I would say about this card, so much so that I thought it was my comment at first!!

Run with Teetering Peaks in a Fling deck.

Consider crack the earth for a free land destroy if they didn't play a creature! If doing this, Brute Force, and Reckless Charge are great!

Also, Double Cleave, Assault Strobe, and Spark Spitter, Hell's thunder! All sorts of ways to go!

Could use a core reprint. Great card.

Can someone explain to me how land leeches can stop this card in Magic's world?
