Lightning Bolt Just laughed.
5 damage for 4 in a burn deck isn't TERRIBLE... Especially since you'll probably be top decking a burn deck fairly quickly if you build it without Howling Mines or Font of Mythos.
As far as the Hellbent mechanic goes... I've never run across any worth playing a Hellbent deck to use. But if you are really determined to run Hellbent, try a B/R deck and combo it with madness cards and Oppression so you're not the only one top decking and the discard won't hurt you as much.

Hellbent was a great idea! Make up for your card disadvantige with above the curve spells and creatures, sold! But sadly it came out like threshold in that it's sucky before and ok after. This card being case and point. Maybe if it 1 less, or it's starting damage was one higher, or the damage couldn't be prevented, SOMETHING!

This could have been really good if it cot 2R and the Hellbent made it do 6.

Compare Lava Axe, which is a sorcery, but you don't need hellbent.
