Flare of Duplication: Double the Burn
Flare of Duplication is a rare red instant from Modern Horizons 3 that rewards careful planning and fast spells. You may sacrifice a nontoken red creature rather than pay this spell's mana cost, turning one spell into two at a fraction of the mana. Copy target instant or sorcery spell, and you may choose new targets for the copy. The result is a clean tempo swing, letting you answer a threat twice or push extra damage in a single turn.
In practice the card fits well with aggressive red decks that run many cheap creatures and removal. It adds value by turning a single spell into a small parallel duel, where your copied spell can catch an opponent off guard. Use it to double a burn spell or to duplicate a removal on a key spell your opponent casts during combat.
