Yup, it is Blightning!
I love this card for so many reason, and yet I have never included it in any decklists. So I'm going to try to build a BR deck that focuses on the theme of blightning--damage and card advantage. Ok, here goes.
4x Mogg Fanatic
4x Thoughtseize
4x Raven's Crime
4x Lash Out
4x Incinerate
4x Manamorphose
4x Bitterblossom
3x Sygg, River Cutthroat
4x Blightning
3x Flame Javelin
4x Sulferous Springs
3x Graven Cairns
8x Swamps
7x Mountains
Adding blue for some puppeteer clique and vendilion clique makes good sense (make your opponent discard kitchen finks, sower of temptations, and murderous redcaps, then use them against them). Also, I'd like some grixis charm in there. Basically, take the focus off of burn and put it into control. Bring in the burn from the board, if necessary.
From conflux you can play with Nyxathid. If your opponent isn't holding many cards, it is a huge turn three creature.
Nyxathid 1BB
Creature - Horror
As Nyxathid comes into play, choose an opponent.
Nyxathid gets -1/-1 for each card in the chosen player's hand.
7/7
So there you go. I finally build my blightning deck. Anyone else?

wow i didn't even know that card existed, I've missed it all these times, that's incredible, I kind of want to build BR now. More maybe lean a bit into my old BR I've done a dozen times and only had moderate success with. I'll do it again, and see what comes up this time. Thanks for bringing this card to my attention.
In terms of suggestions, I say no to manamorphose - you don't want 4 mana fix cards in a burn/discard deck, I'd rather see 2 cards replace flame javelin and manamorphose - like 2 burn cards at 3 points per card instead of 2 cards and seeing only 4 damage from it.
Lash out is good cause you are probably going to want to burn something and might as well have a chance at hitting the opponent too.
no to raven's crime, early discard isn't as good as more card advantage, I say mind rot instead - plus works better with lash out.
that's all I could think of for you to look at maybe adjusting.
I like Raven's Crime because it has retrace. It can be extremely potent if you already have board control. May not be as useful in a deck that already has lots of discard, though. I wasn't sure if you saw it had retrace though.
I'm just thinking discard burn needs to win quick, not late, if you let it get too late game your retrace isn't going to matter, cause your oppenent will have the land to play anything they draw = draw play, draw play.
just my opinion, if you were going to use it, I think you'd need to adapt to more of a control deck.
It is a sorcery not an instant. :} hi all
Oh, that it is :)
