: Hellbent: lightning bolt.
Yow. Strong!
Mmm. Much better than Cursed Scroll, that's for sure. And that card was most commonly used in aggressive mono-red decks, so the argument that this has a more difficult to use casting cost is kind of irrelevant.
Although I do note that Cursed Scroll was also used to hit players as well as creatures. This isn't Lightning Bolt, it's Strafe. Well, instant, so... Draconic Roar? Blazing Salvo?
A lot more red than black, I note, though it's not really outside black's pie either.
Black gives it the hellbent twist, mainly, I think.
But yeah. Sure, it can't hit players. It dominates the battlespace, then you beat them to death with a 1/1 goblin.
I'm used to
cost, 
to use, and dealing one damage! This is massively better than that; due to colour... but it puts Prodigal Pyromancer in the shade too. It does scream "Build around me! Play hellbent! Every card you pick must be cheap!" so maybe? But this really is a card to make me sit back and think "Wow".
