See Glitterwing Admonisher. At 1R looked sad next to Lightning Strike and Searing Spear, so I dropped the cost to R.

Forgot card name. Name is genetic, for this chaos is refers to caring about tapped creatures, rather than random effect

Gosh, this seems rather strong.

'trapped' creatures?

Fool! You just activated my trap card!

Also, the card this should probably be compared to is Lash Out. Keeping in mind that clash tends to fail 65% of the time or more, Lash Out still saw a lot of play.

For what it's worth, even at sorcery speed and with a cost of {1}{r}, I'd say that Chaotic Shot is a more powerful card than Lightning Strike. The ability to do 6 damage with one spell, even only occasionally, is just too good to pass up.

added "instead" at the end of the if of sentence. Actually, that should just be "any target" with current wording.

Ah, I was sloppy, there was supposed to be an "instead" in the second sentence. The card was never meant to deal six damage, just 3 to a creature, or the potential for that 3 damage to go to any target instead if a condition is met.

Ohhhhh.. Ok; that's much more reasonable. Shame :) The other one was exciting; but did need an up-cost, or a downside, or something.
