Exactly. A more serious advantage is that it can also be a finisher in a black-blue infect deck, but that's probably still ok. (Rosewater's articles say they printed few target player gets a poison counter instants/sorceries, but they did print some, and this is notably hampered in that it can deliver the 10th, but you really, really don't want to give someone the 9th with it :))
Counsel of the Soratami with replaced by is probably just about printable. And this is a wordier version with exactly the same effect, so yeah, seems okay.
To control the blightning, you must first experience the blightning!!! (alternate flavour text)
May rename it Blightning Elemental
ROFL. That's great. Yeah, the effect is ridiculously strong, but I think the high cost and self-damage effect probably mean it's not overwhelming.
Now this is really Blightning on a stick - lol Hopefully its CMC and the fact that it hits you when you cast it balance it out somewhat.
Blightning on a stick :-) I know it would never be printed especially as the name is so close, but I think its a fun idea.

Hm. In almost all sets the poison doesn't matter, but then, it's probably still not too good for UB.
