I really think this could have worked if it was 2 damage for Phyrexian1. Give any color a Shock.

I like how people think that free shock would be over powered, but free counterspells that destroys most of the spells in legacy is ok.

For you Legacy players out there knocking this card...

It kills Aven Mindcensor, Dark Confidant, Birds of paradise, Noble Hierarch, Vendilion Clique, Cursecatcher, Grim Lavamancer, and Narcomoeba.

You know, just a thought.

I found that this card is fun to use with Djinn Illuminatus . If you need the extra push for damage your life will help get you through.

I rated this 4.5 stars. Why?

1. Any deck can play this
2. It's like playing with geistflame; it forces you to think differently. You really don't see the beauty of taking out an opponent's utility creatures early on until you actually have no other option with the spell.
- ex. turn 1 (on the draw) - they play birds of paradise, it's gone before your first turn even starts, what more could you want?
3. Ever tapped out against Wolf Run Ramp and lost to an inkmoth nexus? Gut Shot says you're welcome. TO ANY DECK.

I used to be like you, skeptical of 1 damage for 2 life. But now I'm a believer; you can be one too.

In my U/R Contra Burn deck i run this as a main bored four of because of Brimstone Volley's morbid trigger Stormblood Berserkers blood thirst and this delicious combo of itself and Turn to Frog because it kills anything!
it has inspired a rhyme

Turn to frog your wurmcoil
now its short and stout
gut shot the frog
and watch you pout

My answer to an animated inkmoth Nexus. Just because your opponent wouldn't see it coming when you're all tapped out.

This plus Quest for Pure Flame make for some fun "Got Ya" moments.
