In any decent Madness / Hellbent deck, this is Lightning Bolt.

Use this with Stormbind to deal 5 damage for 
. Pretty decent.

You can't actually choose Lightning Bolt over this in a proper Madness deck. This lets you trigger 'discard a card' based abilities like crazy. Can do 6 damage with this and Trespasser il-vec.

I'm going to point out exactly why this isn't better or worse than lightning bolt.
If you were to be forced to discard lightning bolt by an opponent or by having an oversized hand, you can cast it for its madness cost. Granted, I like everybody else here would have rather had its normal cost be {1}{R}, but seriously who doesn't wish cards costed less?

If you're using this, you're playing it for its madness cost, where it's actually better than Lightning Bolt.
If you're not playing it for its madness cost, well, good luck.

Now, mind you, this is super good. But.. I hope the next time they do Madness that they utilize some more of that "instant speed if madness, not instant speed when normal" design space. I think this guy would've been *cooler* as a 2 mana color-light sorcery. It would also compete (kind of) with Incinerate then.
That said, again, very good card. Gathan Raiders and Putrid Imp say hi.
