M10. . . check.
M11. . . check :)
M12. . . What's that Wizards? You printed SHOCK, Shock, of all cards, in the same format as Galvanic Blast and skipped town on the bolt?

I guess Lightning Bolt only strikes twice :/

Goodbye Lightning Bolt. But I'm practicing doing without you! Today in cube draft I discovered I only needed Panoptic Mirror + Zombify + Hell Spark Elemental + Invasion Plans to duplicate your effect.

Farewell, Lightning Bolt, until we meet again. I'm sure you won't be gone long.
@ DarthParallax: 3 damage is usually underwhelming in Commander, most burn spells there are of the Variable Colorless sort where you can pump all your mana for an alpha strike. Still, sometimes I wish I had good ol' Bolt in hand...

*grumbles* and we're getting shock in m14. Better be incinerate too, or at least a spear reprint.

I love that they hated on the bolt for a long time because it is just so strong and then decide "Ah what the heck, we'll let red have some fun again" just to turn right back around on it after they realized the mistake they made with this and Flame Slash.
