Electrostatic Bolt Red Cards in Magic: the Gathering

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Mike Lopez for Expert Village, and today we'll be discussing the red Magic color. Here we have Electrostatic Bolt. Electrostatic Bolt is basically like Shock on steroids. Now here we have the Barry Bonds of Shock and we have, it costs, one red. Just like Shock, the exact same deal. Electrostatic Bolt two damage to target creature. If it's an artifact creature though it deals four damage instead. Now once again unlike shock you cannot target a player. Once again this is for creature destruction, just like Shock in most cases. But also for the heavy artifact that came out of the Merodon block and has been around since ninth edition. The game has been very artifact heavy which means that this is a very powerful card because you can deal four damage to any artifact creature all for the price of only one Manna."
