Searing Spear becomes Lightning Bolt.

S'good.

Obviously a great card if you run a heavy instant/sorcery deck, cutting down the generic mana cost by one, but also a pretty decent two drop common for 2/2. I like!

I'm not a huge player, but these are my favourite types of cards! Ones like Training Grounds, older ones like the Sunscape Familiar, and others... I have an Arcane Melee, which unfortunately gives your opponent an advantage as well...
But this one is so cheap, with no colour restriction!

Dragonshift just became THE go-to game ender for Izzet, and this guy makes it possible on turn 5.
T 1) Legion loyalist
T 2) This guy
T 3) another 'mancer, Searing Spear, or Pillar of Flame to the face
T 4) 3rd 'mancer, another Spear, or Pillar
T 5) overloaded Dragonshift, GG
Granted, you'd need optimal drawing of lands or the burns, but it is not unlikely. Worst case, a turn 6 Explosive Impact to seal the deal, if you didn't have the Pillars or Spears.

There are so many amazing wizard creatures in red/blue multicolor. Seems like they really could have done more with wizards in Izzet the way they did with Boros soldiers.

Just one turns Cancels into Counterspells, Searing Spears into Lightning Bolts, Thunderbolts into either Lightning Bolt OR a version of 'bolt that does 4 damage to a creature instead of 3 to a creature or player, depending on which one of Thunderbolt's effects you choose, the amount of awesome just one of these out packs is crazy given it's a common... I LOVE IT!

Do not underestimate this creature, and protect it well.

I'd like to see this ability in an BlueRed enchantment or artifact, even a colored artifact. Because every time I cast a Pyroclasm I lose this pretty goblin! And because in my Melek EDH deck I would appreciate a little redundancy in this department... And no, Semblance Anvil and Cloud key don't count, because with them I can discount Instant OR Sorceries, not both! Arcane Melee doesn't count either, because it costs too much and helps the opponents too.
However, great creature! It was time for Izzet to get an effect like this! With Past in Flames, it's just so much win!
4.5/5

With that flavor text, I just know that if they existed in Ravnica, this would have been an Orc Wizard, not a Goblin Wizard.
