Wow! Lightning Bolt and Ball Lightning are back! I won't hold my breath for Orcish Lumberjack though. :(

Bauble.. Ball lightning costs 3 red. That's a mono red card if I ever did see one.

Sedris costs one of each of Grixis's colors. If you were ever looking for a card with a low color weight, it was for his deck.

Anyway, balanced card. A it's good, B it doesn't break any rules, and C you can defend yourself from it.

Any aggro deck should have one.

I love the art for this ball lightning, Trevor Claxton does a great job here.

Ball lightning is an amazing card that really fits into red. It can be very risky to play due to pingers who can kill it before it even attacks, and pretty much any card that deals at least one damage at instant speed. Also creatures with firststrike really ruin ball lightnings day. But when you get past all the little problems that can present themselves as threats for ball lightning it is pure undeniable power.

I have seen three ball lightnings hit the field in one turn and it was gg right then and there.
It is one of thouse few older cards that has actully aged well. R&D knows that this card is loved by many, infact that is why it has seen so many reprints and knock offs. Put simply it is a classic.

Also, if you love Ball Lightning and you perfer to play green (possibly for the mana excel) consider groundbreaker.

If they would print a Red Dark Ritual, then we could drop this on turn 1, but NO, we get stuck with Pyretic Ritual

Great card, but I do love the mental image of little Mosquito Guard taking this thing down.

The only thing left is to give this thing deathtouch. Gorgon Flail, an instant, take your pick.
