Oracle Text
Homing Lightning deals 4 damage to target creature and each other creature with the same name as that creature.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Homing Lightning is the sort of efficient, targeted removal that favors tempo and midrange control lines: for 2RR you buy backfield stability by killing a key creature while also clearing any duplicate copies bearing the same printed name. Practically, it shines against copy/token strategies and mirror matches — think Kiki-Jiki or Splinter Twin-style tokens and decks that flood the board with identical creatures — because it doesn’t care about creature type, only the name. Deckbuilding tip: pack Homing Lightning as a 2–3-of in the main or sideboard of a red midrange/tempo build to slam down after a blocker or to disrupt combo turns; it pairs nicely with card selection and redundancy so you can reliably answer the pivotal threat. Remember it must target the creature (so hexproof will stop it) and it won’t hit different creatures that merely share a creature type. Thematically, it evokes a bolt that homes in on a unique signature, making it as flavorful as it is functional.
