Burst Lightning (FDN)

Instant

Kicker {4} (You may pay an additional {4} as you cast this spell.) Burst Lightning deals 2 damage to any target. If this spell was kicked, it deals 4 damage instead.

Key removal spell for aggressive red decks. Burst Lightning offers flexibility at instant speed—efficient as a one-mana ping or a four-mana removal spell depending on your needs. The kicker mechanic makes it valuable across multiple formats, particularly in Pioneer and Modern where it fills the gap between cheap burn and premium removal. A solid inclusion in any red deck that values tempo and adaptability.
