Strictly worse than Lightning Bolt, Burst Lightning, Galvanic Blast... the list goes on and on.

only reason why you'd run this in a deck is if you play red with heavy burn and run 4x lightning bolt and 4x shock.

A creature with toughness 0 or less is sacreficed.

In answer to that question, a creature that get's negative counters which are equal to or greater than it toughness is sacrificed immediately. So you can't attack with it. Even if it had a -2/-0 put on it, it would be worthless to attack because a 2/2 would be a 0/2.

Being reprinted in M12...
The question is, why in the world do they reprint a card that is STRICTLY worse than another card already in standard? Galvanic Blast. (Burst Lightning as well but it rotates out soon.)
I cant imagine a situation where I'd rather use Shock over Galvanic Blast. Most decks run at least 10 artifacts nowadays. (Phyrexian Metamorph, Spellskite, Hex Parasite, Mox Opal, Memnite, Signal Pest, Everflowing Chalice etc.)
Even though the chances of getting out 3 artifacts is low, you have absolutely nothing to lose.
So I ask, why reprint this card?

Why doesn't the default link automatically go to the most recent printing of the card?
