Burst Lightning

Description

Released in 2015 as part of the Modern Masters 2 set, Burst Lightning (card number 109) is a staple red instant in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This foil version, illustrated by Vance Kovacs, captures the aggressive nature of red mana with its iconic design. The card functions as a versatile removal spell, dealing 2 damage to any target, but its true value for collectors and players lies in its kicker ability. By paying an additional {4} mana, the spell deals 4 damage instead, allowing it to handle larger threats or serve as a finisher in aggressive decks. For collectors, this release represents a key reprint from the Modern Masters series, which was designed to bring powerful cards from the Modern format into a premium, foil-only product. The Modern Masters line is highly regarded for its premium production quality and the strategic depth it brings to the game. Collectors often seek out these cards to complete their Modern Masters sets, appreciating the consistent foil treatment across the entire product. The card’s enduring appeal stems from its simplicity and effectiveness in gameplay, making it a desirable addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection. Whether you are building a deck or curating a set, Burst Lightning stands as a testament to the strategic evolution of the game’s red spells. The Modern Masters 2 set continues to be a focal point for collectors who appreciate the blend of nostalgia and competitive viability found in these reprints.
