Why's this rated so low?
This is likely going to see some tournament play. This is going to be one of RDW's answers to Sanctity, especially since it can singe away any creatures in this things path (nothing else to do with the burn spells), and if you're running izzet colors, for only one additional mana, this is unblockable. And even if they do have creatures, at least you can fry one of them.
And besides, its budget ball lightning. And with fling, even if they choose to block, you can fling it in response. This is at least worth 3, but I would say it should be a 3.75.

Some of these comments are just hilarious. Constructed play? Demon of death's gate breaking the bank? HAH! I don't even play red and I know that this is absolute garbage. Even losing ball lightning, I'll play elemental appeal before I EVER consider this.
Also, master of etherium: Please, please stop posting. You have no idea how incredibly painful it is to read your comments, and the fact that your comments are stupid doesn't help. There are so many people here who feel the same way as me, don't think I'm the only one.
Also, who the hell said ball lightning was expensive? It's a $5 card.
This has been your daily dose of douchebag, brought to you by players who get annoyed when people try to justify bad cards.

Think about it this way: you had to sacrifice 1 more power and trample for greater splashability, at common no less. At the very least, it'll kill something if it's blocked, and due to it's ability to be played easily with green, giving it something like Predator's Strike is easy.
Doesn't seem so bad now, does it? Besides, he's an Ox.

@ Chinkeeyong Shut Up Draft Is Where It's At Takes The Most Talent, Standard Is Net Deck And Sucks The Fun Out Of Magic Plus This Card Is Good When Someones Tapped Out Even Though A Hornet Sting Can Kill It Plus The Art Is Great And The Creature Type Is Spectacular Elemental Ox !

A common budged Ball-Lightning that's splashable.
If not useful for constructed, it's at least a pretty good pick in limited.
Edit: Nevermind, this doesn't have trample.
This is a terrible excuse for a Ball-Lightning at best if you can just chump-block it.
Duh! My brain read this card with trample,
since i totally expected it to be one of those x/1 trample-haste-sacrifice one hit wonders.

i know this bull isnt that great but i love usin him for some reason. in mono red ill wait till i have a strait shot and hit for five then fling his ox ass straight to someones face. but using him with the leyline of anticipation as a blocker on your opponents turn is the best use i have found for him.

It's like a *** Ball Lightning.
And don't give me that "Well it's not strictly worse than" *** because we all know that Ball has one and only one use: Acting as a living burn spell. On turn three, Ball Lightning exists to cause some major damage to an opponent, not just be chumped out of existence.

a possible 5 damage for 3 mana is alright. a possible 5 damage for 3 mana as long as your opponent has no blockers on turn 3... not so good. this is easily chump-blocked and will see no constructed play.
and remember, limited-worthy = bad card.
