What's your opinion on the best burn spell?
Can't decide between Lightning Bolt , Thunderous Wrath or Blazing Salvo .
Lightning Bolt hands down. Blazing Salvo is not even castable without a creature target, and even so, the opponent can choose to let that creature die.
Thunderous Wrath isn't good if you start with it in your opening hand. Lightning Bolt always work.

Lightning bolt all the way. I rank top 5 as follows:1.) Lightning Bolt 2.) Lightning Helix 3.) Magma Jet 4.) Char 5.) Galvanic Blast or Flames of the Blood Hand .

@Hernandez1993: I largely agree with your list. I would give honorable mention to Skullcrack , as it also stop protection from preventing damage, which isn't really all that useful, but is a fun/un-intuitive side-effect.

Lightning Bolt is an easy #1. Rift Bolt is pretty good.

Dallie,I agree with you about Skullcrack in standard right now its very good. If I were to make a list for top 10 then it would make the cut. What are some opinions on Aurelia's Fury

personally, I say that Grapeshot is the best, because of how many different combos you can pull off and then just throw in a grapeshot for the win. Yes alone it is stupidly weak, but how many decks dont cast TONS of cards before burning to death anyway? PLUS it is one card...you only have to make a random combo before using it...

Lightning Bolt , Lightning Helix , and Electrolyze are the three best, with the rest being significantly worse. Of these three, Bolt is probably the best overall, but it really depends on what you're playing, what the matchup is, etc.
