Redirect Lightning could be useful in a burn deck that aims to disrupt the opponent's game plan by redirecting removal spells or targeted abilities. However, it may not see much play due to its restrictive cost of 5 life or {2} in addition to its converted mana cost of R, making it potentially a high cost for its effect. Other cards like Deflecting Palm or Apostle's Blessing could offer similar functionality with lower costs, warranting consideration over Redirect Lightning in most cases.
