Well, it's nice to see Arc Lightning back for limited at least, wish it had been an instant this time around.

Personally think Arc Trail is better, but this is still a great card and will see play.

Use it to counter Vraska the Unseen's ultimate once Return to Ravnica hits? :p

Eek every bit of value out of Chandra the Firebrand's -2 with her signature spells.

Yeah I appreciate the functional reprint of Arc Lightning with some extra Chandra flavor. Pretty terrific in limited, but as far as constructed goes, not quite there. Most of the players who define my local meta (including myself obviously) opt for Arc Trail since the flexibility trade-off is rather marginal and the cost differential (2Red vs 1Red) is, perhaps surprisingly, fairly substantial.

I cannot fathom why this isn't rated at least 4 stars. Its 3 damage for 3 mana (splashable even) divided how you want it. Potential three-for-one's with this card; with Snapcaster Mage you can do it again (that's an investment of 8 mana to get rid of 6 creatures AND it replaces itself with a 2/1 bear). Its perfect to have 4 Pillar of Flame and then this in your three-drop slot for amazing removal. Go ahead and test it out at your next FNM and then come back and tell me this card isn't an All-Star.

The flexibility of this card is what defines it. Being able to take out beef, or wiping three teeny duders, really makes it. This is a great addition to a red burn deck, just like it's predecessor, Arc Lightning.

And hey -- now you can get more of them in your deck! If you... really need to, I guess?

None of your burn goes to waste when you play this spell.

It's Inferno Titan without the 6/6 body...for half the price. Okay I guess.
