About Lightning Axe

Lightning Axe, Instant, designed by Dan Murayama Scott first released in Oct, 2006 in the set Time Spiral and was printed exactly in 11 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.59.

A red aggressive or midrange deck that aims to quickly remove threats from the board would benefit from Lightning Axe, as it provides efficient removal at a low cost. While there are alternatives like Abrade or Lightning Bolt that offer more versatility or flexibility, Lightning Axe's ability to deal 5 damage for just R can be particularly effective against larger creatures. It could see play in decks looking for targeted removal with a high damage output, especially in formats where graveyard synergies are relevant.
