With 2012 on it's way and a spoiler of such powerful red, I can't help wonder if lightning bolt, ball lightning will be returning. Dose anybody have any plans with burn or sudjestions?

Well, Lightning Bolt was almost not in Magic: 2011. It was added at the last minute. And with such powerful red cards, I believe it will not be returning.

I agree though I think their will be a 1 mana burn spell, i'm hoping for shock though I'm thinking it will be closer to flame jab or another 1 damage

I really hope that lightning bolt doesn't come back, it was removed for a reason you know.

Don't hate on lightning bolt! (please?) My red/black squad is just waiting for Cawblade and Valakut to cycle. Please don't nerf mah Babeh!

YOU CAN GET TONS (By tons I mean four, it still helps) OF LIGHTNING BOLTS IN THE FIRE AND LIGHTNING PREMIUM DECK SET. IT"S ONLY $20 AND PRACTICALLY ALL THE CARDS ARE BURN SPELLS AND GOBLINS! PLUS IT COMES WITH A SICK D20 AND WORKS REALLLLLLY WELL IN GENERAL. GET IT QUICK BEFORE WIZARDS TAKES THAT OFF THE MARKET TOO!

P.S I'm just going on the record for saying that Fireball is the worst burn spell ever.

youd think with a name like ginger kid, you would like red spells! I guess I could be wrong.

Fireball? Worst Burn spell ever?  What are you smoking?  What about Lava Dart? What about Volcanic Geyser?

Although I do prefer:

to fireball

that's old school comparison...

How about the new one... Fireball vs. Banefire

or

Fireball vs. Demonfire

each one has its ups and downs. It depends on the deck or combo for me.

Banefire is the only one I would take over fireball, seriously though, people underestimate the ability to kill several creatures, and still have a full power burn

Infinite mana + fireball = I killed the other players creatures and the player next to you, but I burned you down to 1 life, and I'm holding a shock, just waiting for you to swing so I can add insult to injury by killing you in mid-swing. Umbral Mantle and Wirewood Channeler FTW! God I love elf-ball decks.

Fireball is good to use for killing more targets but comet storm almost beat fireball when it comes to CMC but also beats fireball for being able to cast it during your opponent's turn... for the possible shocker...

just to add... i love elf ball to but i don't use infinite mana... I just use a few priest of titanias and a birchlore ranger for red...

Come on shaki, you gotta admit, infinite mana and multikicking a wolf-briar elemental for infinite 2/2 wolfies can be a very awesome thing in a chaos.

The comet storm is a bit to expensive when used as a finisher, it tends to be a much better board clearer, whereas with fireball, it is primarily a finisher, but can be seconded as a board thiner.  The later of the two I find more useful for burn decks. When you have the mana, your more likely wanting to end the game than to save yourself (though of course there are exceptions to every rule.)
