Oracle Text
Lightning Bolt deals 3 damage to any target.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Lightning Bolt is one of Magic: The Gathering’s purest expressions of red magic: fast, direct, and unforgiving. In Double Masters 2022, its reprint reminds players why this one-mana instant remains a staple across formats. Three damage to any target gives it remarkable flexibility, letting aggressive decks clear blockers, finish off weakened opponents, or answer key utility creatures while staying ahead on tempo. It also supports control shells that want an efficient answer to early threats without spending much mana, and combo decks appreciate it as a low-cost way to close games once they assemble a win. A strong deckbuilding tip is to pair Lightning Bolt with other cheap burn spells or card selection so you can consistently pressure life totals while preserving mana for interaction. Its simplicity hides its strength: it trades one red mana for immediate impact, which is exactly what efficient, proactive decks want.
