How is this rated lower than Flare? I mean, how many games can a single person draw by simultaneously decking him/herself with Zap and dealing the last point of damage to his/her opponent?

It's no Electrolyze, that's for sure.

Hmm. I wonder if this would have been overpowered at 2 damage. Compare Electrolyze.

It's basically a reprint of Flare. In the old days there were a lot of cantrips whose effect was to do 1 of something, like Bandage. Would've been okay for 1 mana, like Needle Drop but without the restriction.

As with Bandage and Carom, the rating for this shows that Magic players completely misunderstand cantrips.
Compare this to Divination or Counsel of the Soratami (or even Sign in Blood or even Think Twice - tournament cards).
3cc is pretty typical for 2 draws. At Sorcery speed. This is a 3cc instant that draws 1, and kills a creature. (You would only play this when sideboarding against decks with 1 toughness creatures - TONS of utility creatures have only 1).
An instant that regularly 1-for-zeroes the opponent should not be rated a 1.1

A cantrip version of which burn spell is this, Wizards?
Lighning Bolt? Not quite. Shock? Not either. What went wrong here?

Cantrips need to be really expensive to be totally worthless. This is bad, but can work in Limited.

This card... is too expensive. I might buy it for 1R. Just R at the most optimal. But 2R? Yeah, screw that.
