With Gelectrode et al. decks Flame Jab seems like it would be easier to play than Lava Dart.
Other than that, I can't see any reason to play this card.

@Angus_Burger: Gruul Turf will bounce itself when you play it (it requires you to return a land to your hand when it hits play), so it will then be in your hand for retrace. Retracing puts into the grave for using fastbond/crucible combo. Repeat as desired.

With Burning Vengeance, each land becomes a Sorcery-speed Lightning Bolt or one-mana Arc Trail. I'm definitely running them together in a deck.

I don't know why this is rated so low. It see's a lot of play in modern burn decks now. Kills early creatures and tokens, and turns every land into "deal 1 damage to a creature or player"

Useless in constructed. Very difficult to justify in limited. Overall, just a bum card.

@Mata-Nui3
Two cards, one fairly expensive, to do one damage a turn? It's an ok combo, but I've seen much better. You can just get a buyback burn spell (there are plenty) or something similar. All in all, not really worth losing card advantage to do one damage a turn.

Also, zk3, That is hilarious. Good catch.

On second glance, this isn't actually too bad. Better late game.
Basically turns those lands you got into some nice finishing damage. Granted it's best in slower red decks such as Koth's Deck. Just sac those 7 lands you got for the win.
