Oh please. Flames of the Blood Hand is just a smaller Lava Axe with the same target restriction, and Flame Javelin only costs 3 mana if you're playing mono red (and is also from an extremely overpowered block). The only time the 2 life loss will matter is when you're playing another burn deck.

Oh, I wish it was a common so I could play it in my pauper burn deck.

It was great for its time. Nowadays, we have Lightning Bolt again, but this was big stuff. Red decks of every sort were using it.

This is the red version of Psionic Blast.

Interesting that the blue version gets a higher rating.. your prejudice is showing, red mages!

Okay, I'm new to this.. redo!
Why not pay the extra {R} and have the 2 damage go to your opponent ( Chandra's Outrage )? I think the trade-off is well worth it.

Funny how a few years ago every Standard Red Deck Wins player ran 4x Char. Now it's considered garbage. Flame Javelin does all it does without the drawback, and Lightning Bolt just makes it look silly.
