Best Storm card aside from Tendrils.

Art critique aside, and I do like the art...
I think players can be misled by this.
Storm decks are absurdly cheap, yes, but that's because they need the Manamorphose/Seething Song/Gitaxian Probe/etc. complete package. If you're lucky in draft or sealed, MAYBE you can get a storm count for4 on turn 5. I'm not saying Storm, one of the most broken mechanics ever, should have been better in MM, far from it. I'm just saying that it doesn't really work without all the support it needs, and at least Dredge got the Retrace cards to play with.
It's been made more fair, however, and I'd love to set up a burn deck with Grapeshot, but players who draft it should NOT expect the antics that, say, Affinity and Faeries are still capable of in-set. Storm is not nearly as powerful as constructed decks with it are, and that's a very good thing.

I like deliberately misreading this card as ‘Grapes Hot’.

Liked the old art a lot more. Grapeshot is a card you only want to cast when it will deal bucketloads of damage, which the old card art represents.
@Cardraptor, I have no idea what you're trying to say in that comment, but I hardly think Modern Masters is an attempt by Wizards to attract brand new players. The price tag and limited print run should rule that out.

Grapeshot: Now 20% more goth.

Silly mage. That's not a grapeshot. That's a force spike.
Edit: Damn, SyntheticDreamer beat me to it :D

{sigh} I get the feeling whoever did the art didn't quite realize that grapeshot was the cannon version of buckshot. A piece of grapeshot just shouldn't be that wide. Not to mention that grapeshot was pointless EXCEPT as scattershot.

Arguably the single best storm card ever is back. Lovely.
