A flexible firebolt with less zing, still good! Red decks should have a few of these as well.

I prefer Pyrite Spellbomb. It's colorless, and can cycle when needed. That does matter.

@TheWrathofShane

There are actually several things that can take this card out:
Celestial Crusader can buff its would-be target without giving it a chance to respond.
Stonewood Invocation can also buff its would-be target without giving it a chance to respond.
Take Possession can take it and sac it.
Wipe Away can bounce it.
Word of Seizing can take it and sac it.

Of all of these, Krosan Grip is by far the least to cast, but they all deal with it in one way or another (temporarily or permanently).

That said, it's incredibly difficult to deal with if it hits the battlefield - usually it just goes off on whatever it wants to go off on.

You should be able to Stifle it as well.
