=== Chain Lightning ===
[[image:Chain Lightning.jpg|You mean I can run EIGHT bolts? Oh boy!]]

This is a great example of where the ''intent'' does not at all match the ''result''. The intention of this card was probably a [http://magiccards.info/query?q=lightning+bolt&v=card&s=cname lightning bolt] that your opponent could bounce back to you, and you could bounce back again, etc. until one of you ran out of mana.

The result was... lightning bolt at sorcery speed.

The rest of the card isn't even worth mentioning, since the cost to copy it is RR and very few decks will have RR open when you cast it. 99 times out of 100 this card is just a lightning bolt at sorcery speed. It's not a bad card (quite the contrary, 3 damage for 1 mana is great), it's just designed all wonky.

This is a legacy [[Red Deck Wins|Burn]] staple, and in conjunction with several other spells allows the deck to run an effective 16 lightning bolts.
