# Burst Lightning Burst Lightning is a straightforward red instant that appeals to collectors primarily through its Mystical Archive printing. This special set within Secrets of Strixhaven features alternate art treatments and frame styles that distinguish it from standard releases. The card itself has seen multiple printings across Magic's history, but the Mystical Archive version stands out for its unique aesthetic presentation. Collectors typically pursue this variant for set completion rather than the card's gameplay role. Both foil and nonfoil versions exist, with foil copies commanding modest premiums among those seeking complete Mystical Archive collections. The uncommon rarity keeps it accessible, making it an approachable target for builders focused on this particular subset.
