But nobody ever hard-casts this! Not in the early game, at least. Anyway, Lightning Bolt doesn't have utility when you discard it. I know you can play it in response to a discard spell, but sometimes you want to use discarding as a cost.

Play with Chandra Ablaze, Jaya Ballard, Task Mage, or Stormbind.

I would have enjoyed a 2R CC, double red makes me sad in multi-color madness deck :(

Strictly worse than a lot of things, hard casted.
But Madness'd and it's strictly better than even the almighty bolt.

This card is obviously better then lightning bolt with the right cards around it. Lightning Bolt is obviously better in most other decks with

Many people overlook the obvious difference between this card and Lightning Bolt.
For example, if you play Avatar of Discord or other spells that require discarding, with a hand size of five, you can activate Madness and play Fiery Temper, ended up with two cards and six damage done (Avarar's 2 discard -> 2 Fiery Temper = 3 cards used total).
If you have Lightning Bolt instead and wants to do the same six damage, you ended up with zero cards in hand (Avatar itself + 2 discard + 2 lightning bolts = 5 cards used total).
Lightning Bolt, without a doubt, is stronger because it has no restriction, that does not make these two good comparison with each other. In the example above, Fiery Temper certain wins on card advantage.
4/5
