Lightning Reflexes
Oracle Text
You may cast this spell as though it had flash. If you cast it any time a sorcery couldn't have been cast, the controller of the permanent it becomes sacrifices it at the beginning of the next cleanup step.
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature gets +1/+0 and has first strike.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Lightning Reflexes is a slick little red Aura that rewards patience and combat math, making it a strong fit for aggressive tempo decks that want to turn a modest threat into an immediate problem. Being able to cast it as though it had flash is the real trick: you can ambush blockers, protect yourself from open mana by waiting until combat, or even deploy it at end step to threaten lethal on the crackback. The enchanted creature’s +1/+0 and first strike make small attackers trade up cleanly, especially with evasive one-drops, prowess-style creatures, or anything with built-in combat tricks. Because the Aura sticks around only if cast at sorcery speed, it’s best used as a proactive, mana-efficient pump spell rather than a full-on surprise weapon. In Limited, it shines on evasive bodies and cheap creatures with relevant combat abilities; in Constructed-style builds, pair it with sacrifice or recursion synergies to minimize risk and keep pressure high.
