why does flare seem like it does more damage than shock? it seems more fitting for say incinerate...

they should reprint this with different art: boat lost at sea firing a flare... that manages to hit a seagull.

She may strive for speed in her work, but with that high mana cost and slowtrip she has not succeeded with this spell.

You know who else strives for speed in their work?

Drew Tucker, clearly.

So much for printing Ultima!

I think the flavour text is just Jaya explaining why she doesn't use Flare.

I quite like the art. Too bad this card is overpriced, under-powered and inelegant. Also, great flavor text, if only for the irony.

Elegance and speed, huh?

I take it you didn't check what exactly this card did before you slapped on some Jaya Ballard flavor text, did you?

The only real use for this is taking out x/1 critters with particularly pesky abilities. If you can reliably use the card as "Destroy target creature with toughness of 1, draw a card the next upkeep" it doesn't seem quite as horrible. But still...

Strictly more whatever than zap.
