If it were Instant, it would be OP. If it could target creatures OR opponents, it would be OP. As it is, a well-balanced removal. Not preferable to Lightning Bolt if you have the option, but brilliant for Block-play.

And just like that; 3 is no longer the magic toughness number.

4 damage. No drawbacks (aside from the speed). ONE mana.
Sh!t, what are you complaining about? Do a little research on gatherer and see what 4 damage has costed throughout MTG's history.
Noobs.

I think it is indicative of Magic's overall power-creep that people don't see this as a 5/5 card. It does 4 damage... for 1 mana. Yeah, it isn't an instant or it would be the most ridiculous card of all time.

Totally insane damage potential for red. Thank God it can't target players.

5/5

Why wizards.. why!!! First everything with 3 and less toughness is bolt bait, now everything 4 and less is flame slash bait. Honestly, it sounds bad because its sorcery.. but seriously, its 1 mana. How many times do you have like 1 mana laying around and nothing else to spend it on? The reality is that it being sorcery only prevents you from using it as a combat trick, beyond that its still an amazing removal that kills malakir bloodwitch instantly. W/g/r decks got some serious removal these days.

oh, so you think this card is second-rate because it's a sorcery? ok, you think that, while I tear your army apart with this amazing one mana card.

remember, 90% of the time instant-speed isn't NECCESSARY. it's just convenient.

It's a 1-dmg weaker goblin grenade, without you sacrificing a goblin. The way I see it, this card deserves at least 4.5

EDIT: oh, okay, can't hit players... minus * then....

Absolutely amazing in limited.

Not so much in constructed. Give it instant-speed then we'll talk.
