Love this card. Deals with an early Knight of the Reliquary pretty well and the aforementioned Putrid Leech for a mere 1 mana.

I agree it’s very good. There’s another pretty decent common in RoE that makes Flame Slash worth it: Ondu Giant. That guy is everything Rhox Meditant ever wanted to be, and then some. I’m trying him out in a RW deck (you know, Stoneforge+Collar and stuff), and he’s always played great.

It kills Putrid Leech and Wall of Omens dead. 5-star spell that I will play 4-of maindeck in every Red deck I play for that reason alone.

I don’t see the problem with killing a Wall of Omens. Sure beats attacking into it and bolting it.
I might try and do a split of Flame Slash and Burst Lightning in a sideboard, so I have a better chance of not whiffing on BBE on an empty board.

It kills Wall of Omens, as well as other problematic dudes like Rhox Warmonk and Vampire Nighthawk. It’s not lacking in awesome, I can say that right now.

Seems better than Burst Lightning quite a lot of the time, except when you topdeck it with them on 4 with a fresh Baneslayer Angel on the table. Casting it on Wall of Omens is pretty miserable too. Worth trying, at least!

Forgot to mention… you could compare it to electrostatic bolt… boy.. that card was in every red deck.

Sorry for double post.

Great post. I’ve always thought that if I was going to build anything beatdown with red on it (except Jund) I was going to put this card to work. In mono red you need it maindeck (wall of omens, leech…and that’s just enough to play it) and in a naya beatdown deck you need it in sideboard vs malakir bloodwhich, but maybe burst lightning fills that role better, who knows. For now, I’m either playing wall of omens, leech or flame slash in ROE T2. (unless you consider polymorph is a deck).
