This card is great for a aggro red deck!

Watch out for First Strikers! Deft Duelist for example. Granted, not alot of people play that card, but my point still stands.

If your opponents have any untapped creatures with first strike, then this is useless....otherwise it's good. So, it's situational. I wish it had more toughness, but it would go well with cards that bounce things back to your hand, so that you can repeatedly ball lightning.

I actually like the cards that don't stay on the table...more room for AoE Burn spells like Pyroclasm. I also like using Onslaught and Furious Assault with things like these....I like red....red is fun.....

I'd say one of the best decks to play this in would be mono-red sligh. Burn away any pesky blockers, drop this bad boy, and go to town!

This is just a great card! its easy to pay the mana to get it out of your hand and once you do you can play it right away! i only wish its defense was higher. but still one awesome card to have and play.

I dont get why everyone keeps mentioning creatures with first strike, and red deck is obviously running burn, so just burn the creature and play this card. I mean sure, its sets you back a turn, but I mean its worth it.
