I rarely say this about red burns, but I actually DONT like this card, at all.

Shock for 2 mana is somewhat ordinary for burns, but the effect makes the card feel more dangerous than it actually is. In order for the damage to be any greater than 4, you would need to x4 this card, and I NEVER x4 of any card in any deck I use, because flexibility is everything to me. Because of this, I would rather play magma jet.
