This sucks. Nowhere near Shock or Lightning Bolt but maybe Scorching Spear.

Drawing a card means this card replaces itself, and nukes a utility creature in the process. This would be a good sideboard option to deal with pests without loosing a card.

With that being said, I think it should be 2 damage. That would double the effectiveness, and give some motivation of hitting the player (1 damage is nearly useless for burning the player). I think it would be well costed with 2 damage.

Red for 1 dmg and draw at instant would be insane. No reason not to run 4. 1Red would be fair, and 2Red should get you 2dmg at least. That would take care allot of the tribal lords.

Strictly worse than Jund Sojourners. If you're envying any card from the Alara block with a cycling cost, I'm so sorry.

it's worth it's mana cost, pure red spells have a real problem with card draw, it's not their thing, so a reduction in damage done for one red is logical. however i have found that the standard amount of colourless mana to draw a card is 2 colourless. so if u add the worth of a 2 colourles card draw, plus the fact it's pure red (and thus the Damage penalty is added, taking it down from a shock) then it is worth it's mana. plus i feel a Zap Deck may have more success than a standard burn deck, because every Zap u play will replace itself with another card

If you read, they actually were originally gonna make this for {R}, but development knocked up the price because red was "Getting too strong".

Personally it wouldn't really be all that good even at {R}.

This is the card that single handedly ruined Squee's reputation. He doesn't need to be a good shot Sisay, he loves Grenades!
