Best card in M14

[Birdbrain]

What about {mindsparker} and {awaken the ancient} satified with awesome red cards that i can use to punch face with

I prefer {Ash Zealot} over {Mindsparker}, but it's definitely a really good sideboard card. {Awaken the Ancient} seems too slow though. If it gave Trample that would be another story.

{Legion Loyalist} one of my favourite cards and I reckon a great one drop, which will give awaken the ancient crazy abilities!!

{awaken the ancient} can only be played on land.

Loyalist gives a pump

I really like  {Vial of Poison}, {Young Pyromancer}, and {Fiendslayer Paladin}.    {Scavenging Ooze} and   {Kalonian Hydra} are IMO the best.

{shock} at least for early game. Would you rater cast {shock} or {lightning bolt} on a 1/1 or 2/2?

{Lightning bolt}. Im appalled this is even a question!

seems like a waste to me dealing 3 damage to a creature with only 1 or 2 toughness

He means: would you waste 3 damage on a 1/1 or a 2/2? Otherwise it's not really early game if you need the bolt on a creature.

if you want to keep creatures off the field while you get a feel for your opponents deck and stall to draw into what you need, then it is a good early game option

If you're asking that question, it means you'd rather run {Shock}. If you're running {Shock} over {Lightning Bolt}, you're doing it wrong 😜

But yes, I'd throw a {Lightning Bolt} at a 1/1, 1/2, 2/2, 2/1 if necessary.

[Mikefrompluto]

It's the exact same casting cost. It would different if you were comparing say {shock} and {searing spear}. Then yeah, shock would be more relevant early game. But bolt and shock both cost a single {R} AND bolt is also good late if you need to get extra damage in. Why would you not choose that?

Exactly. If you need a creature gone bad enough, you'll throw whatever is necessary at it.

i didn't say I wouldn't run bolt. At least I didn't intend to. I'd run both. That way, I'd have more burn, and more spot removal

[Birdbrain]

And no one would ever expect a {shock} combat trick because no one runs shock

Well that changes everything. If I had both, I'd use whatever I drew into first if dealing with a creature was paramount. If I had both in hand, however, then yes, {shock} would be the way to go.

Lol true enough.
