As a heavy red player I've been doing some hunting for hidden gems in the seemingly endless list of burn spells. I want to know what, in your opinion, are the best burn spells of all time. For each drop slot. I don't have my list done which is part of the reason I'm asking you. :P

{Lightning Bolt} Was that really a question?

{Skullcrack} The bane of burn is life gain. The bane of life gain is {Skullcrack}.

{Flames of the Firebrand} I'm up for debate here. Most 3 drops do three damage and something else. Splitting the damage is the best, in my books.

That new convoke thingy. Cause four for four is good and four for less than four is better.

{Lava Axe} not for utility, damage output, or anything practical. Just that {Lava Axe} is a classic. (Though if we're serious my money is on {Beacon of Destruction}).

The only spell I can think of between here and there is {Explosive Impact}, and it sucks.

{Searing Wind} cause ain't nobody gonna cast that.

{Comet Storm} it's my favourite X cost burn spell. Flavour, utility, damage output. So good.

Thoughts?

If we can branch out from Mono-Red, {Electrolyze} gets my vote on the three CMC slot.  The damage can be split and it replaces itself, letting it be one of the bet tempo cards ever printed, alongside {Remand}.

I'd like to keep it mono red but {Electrolyze} is certainly worthy of mention.

Lol, that's so bad. I guess at the time there weren't as many burn spells but cmc 2, sorcery speed.
