Burst Lightning — Quick Bolt with Kick
Burst Lightning is a compact answer for red decks that need flexible removal or a fast finisher. The card reads simply yet offers decision space through its kicker cost, letting you spend a single red to deal two damage or invest more mana to push that number to four. This Foundations printing carries a crisp art direction depicting a lightning strike tearing down a monolith which fits the card name and gives a tactile sense of impact at instant speed.
Use Burst Lightning to clear small creatures, finish off a planeswalker, or push through the last points of life. Seasoned players value the card for its low curve and split decision utility in aggressive and midrange builds. Pick up this Light Play English copy to slot into burn lists, red aggro, or sideboards where flexible point removal matters; add it to your deck and test how that extra kicker changes combat math in tight turns.
