# Searing Spear Searing Spear is a straightforward red instant that deals three damage for two mana, making it a clean, efficient removal spell. Collectors appreciate it as a functional reprint of Lightning Bolt's spiritual successor, representing a design philosophy Magic has revisited across multiple sets. As a common from Magic 2013, it's readily available in both nonfoil and foil versions, though neither variant commands significant collector attention. The card matters mainly to players building budget decks rather than to serious collectors. Its presence in core sets demonstrates how Magic standardizes efficient removal across different eras, but it lacks the historical significance or scarcity that drives collector interest.
