Turn one, Swamp, Dark Ritual this guy face-down.
Turn two, Graven Cairns to get the two red to flip him.
Any number of Red accell cards can pull off the same for Ball Lightning, but not with a 2/2 blocker for your first turn, and that extra point of damage never hurt no-one. The added Black also gives you access to Tutors.
Plus, guys, it's a Cat, and one of the few worthwhile Red ones.

Ball Lightning is a 6/1 for RRR
This is eh. Personally would prefer ball lightnings.
"Alright, you want to compare this to Ball lightning, lets compare this to ball lightning. For fun lets throw in assault strobe to see who will work more effectively with it.
Ball Lightning comes out turn 3 with no acceleration. with assault strobe, you are swinging for 12 in total trample damage. This is turn 4.
Blistering Firecat. Morph it turn two. Turn 3, un morph it and play assault strobe on it. Swing for 14 total trample damage. Oh Look! This is turn 3 you are doing this. hell they will see it coming, but they will also see ball lightning coming too.
Case closed." ~Boakes2047
Case open.
Do you actually know what casting a morph costs? The same cost as a ball lightning. you're doing both of your assault strobe effects turn 4 without acceleration. Just wasting more mana the 4th turn doing nothing instead of another burn effect.
Case closed.

For a moment i thought about putting this in a 
cat deck,
but the mana cost screamed "DON'T" even more agressively than the cat looks on the artwork.

Lots of fun with Astral Slide either bringing him face up from morph of recurring him with slide! Ball lightning ode with a little more utility. Also can cheat his way under an ensnaring bridge. Still no ball lightning but still loads of fun
4/5
