When I have problems, it's usually because I'm flooded with mana or screwed out of it through bad draws, discard or whatever. When I loose games, it's generally not because I didn't have enough bolts. It's because they played something I couldn't answer....jitte, gristlebrand, some giant elderazi....
I think 16 bolts is enough. I even take some out post board sometimes for ensnaring bridge or graffdiggers cage. I'm going to be testing this card, but in place of my rift bolts or lava spikes. I think I need my flex spots to be competitive.
Just blasting away with damage to my opponent while ignoring the cards they play hasn't worked very well for me since like 1999.
