Obviously not for legacy, modern most likely. I was simply pointing out how sweet it would be to make that play, and it honestly doesn't seem that unreasonable in a mono-red build packed with 4-ofs. And I agree that his list is good, and if it were an actual mechanic I could see those being reasonable cards to print. My point is I can also see why they didn't. When you put any card from that list in conjunction with lightning bolt you break the 3 damage for 1 mana plateau that wizards seems to have set. Bolt + Goblin Guide is already a very strong mono red play, and technically breaks that rule, but at the cost of potentially drawing your opponents cards. ~1~ and bolt is almost strictly better. ~2~ seems like an awesome finisher. I wouldn't mind seeing that card actually printed.
These cards would also allow burn flexibility around CB for whatever that's worth.
