so... it's killing a nest invader... why does it need 4 damage?

Because red really needs another way to kill my Platinum Angel?

I'm not seeing why everyone thinks this is better than bolt..it is decidedly not. a proper red burn or goblin deck relies on options, including the option of playing a burn spell during an opponent's turn, or on a creature OR player. This will still get some play here and there in some formats, but red decks will continue to prefer the temporal and target flexibility of bolt.

I like how this is rated better than baneslayer but cost 120 times less.

EDIT: @scumbling1 you're right, i wrote this when i was first starting to play, my sincerest apologies.

I don't think it should be an instant.
I do, however, think it should deal 5 damage instead of 4.

Eh, not being instant doesn't both me much. Sometimes you need solid cheap damage to kill the things bolt can't kill, and when used with bolt you can take out toughness 7 and co.

I fight a lot of tribal decks, and there's so many +1/+1 buffs going around you need to be able to provide spells that can do more damage.

Compared to Lightning Bolt or Shock, it does 1 or 2 more damage, however it's a sorcery and can only target creatures. I think that puts this card in between them.
