About Lightning Serpent
Lightning Serpent, Creature — elemental serpent, designed by John Avon first released in Jul, 2006 in the set Coldsnap and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 15.45.
A deck that focuses on aggressive strategies and wants to quickly deal damage to the opponent would benefit from using Lightning Serpent. While Lightning Serpent can be a powerful finisher with its trample and haste abilities, there are other cards like Ball Lightning or Thundermaw Hellkite that may offer more immediate impact or value for similar mana costs. Whether Lightning Serpent should see play would depend on the specific strategy and synergies of the deck it's included in.
Rules
07/15/06
If Lightning Serpent enters the battlefield without X being paid because an effect puts it onto the battlefield or an effect lets you cast it without paying its mana cost, then X is 0.
