Great card for a red deck... turn three for a electrifying disaster... red cards really know how to have fun...i just love red and black cards... unlike white and blue that favors workloads over fun... tsk tsk...

I don't know how thrilled I am with this card. I mean it's a good card, right? But Im not partial to cards that I have to dispose of after they've been used once. Never the less, if I happen to get one in a pack, box or fat pack I certainly won't be throwing it away. LOL

I've always liked this card. I use it in a green/red deck to combine it with giant growth and/or blood lust. You have to be careful of first strike, though. A single Tundra Wolf can render this card useless.

great card. Seems like they can never get good art for it. I guess it's hard to envision a ball of lightening being a creature.

Ball lightning is just a great card for any red aggro themed decks. I find it's creature status benefits it quite a bit (as you can't simply cancel it). However this card isn't without drawbacks. First of all while it's mana cost might be an extremely reasonable (3) it all must be red mana. Where am I getting at? Are you into multicolor decks? You can forget about using ball lightning right on the get go. I'm sure there must be a couple of ways around this however they all require you to be lucky enough to draw the right cards. Another drawback is that, while the creature status might give ball lightning some advantages, it also makes it vulnerable to creature elimination cards (such as doomblade, sure the name is cliche but the card is brutally effective). This little drawbacks might keep ball lightning from being an unstoppable nightmare, but it is still an excellent source for quick damage. I think all red oriented players should consider ... (see all)

Fredin, ghostie is right. Also, Cancel is pretty terrible. You should only use it if you can't get a hold of a Counterspell. I do agree with you though, this card is wonderful - but I do disagree that it needs to be a pure red deck to run it. It really just needs to be primarily red. And there are always things that can tap for both red and another color you decide to run. Crumbling Necropolis or Boros Garrison, for example. Also, some non-lands (Veinfire Borderpost). Yes, the mana cost tells you that you should be running primarily red - but not all red. So yes, please keep these. They're good. =P (Plus, if you rated it a 4/5 in your post - why did you give it a .5/5 on the rating system?)

not useful at all. Rather use lightning bolt.
