Right now standard has good removal and fast removal. You have to pick one or the other.
this is a fairly pointless and subjective discussion

What B_F said. What spell you want depends greatly on your deck, and even then it depends on which way the meta has shifted this week.
1000th post November 26, 2010. Where Islands gets his decks: Spoiler:
Show
It was revealed to me in a dream. All the cards were in my dream except for three slots which I plugged in as Vault Skirge.
FULL DISCLOSURE: The dream was post AVR so there was a copy of Slayer's Stronghold. I decided to keep it pre AVR in my post here.
EDIT: I just remembered. The Skirges might have been 2x Whipflare and 1x something else, probably War and Peace.
EDIT2: Currently 4-0 in my first four games with this. My opponents have been very angry. I fought off a Wurmcoil from Grixis for six turns before I found my second Dispatch. Jeez, I can do a lot of damage.
EDIT3: Streak broken. Lost to an unexpected Overrun.  Cracking a Shrine for 10 wasn't enough.
How Kedi tests his decks: Spoiler:
Show
also, I've been playtesting this deck in my sleep today
that kinda freaked me out
Sleeping on Halloween: Spoiler:

Halloween is a conspiracy by crossdressers and furries.
 Thanks to Kipz for the sig. Make a contract with me to become a magical girl!

Searing Spear is laughable. 3 <> 4. Mizzet Mortars can get rid of the turn 2 Loxodon Smiter. Therefore, it is the best Spot Removal for red, and is pretty much the standard for creature burn nowdays.
We use Searing Spear because we have to in red, not because it actually does anything.

Obviously, but its one a lot of people need to have, because there are way too many people making baseless asumptions.

Getting the majority of these forums to realize this ^ is why I made this thread. Searing Spear is laughable. 3 <> 4. Mizzet Mortars can get rid of the turn 2 Loxodon Smiter. Therefore, it is the best Spot Removal for red, and is pretty much the standard for creature burn nowdays.

You missed my last post, Kensan, I'm guessing. I would agree that Mizzium Mortars would be best if it were an instant.

Okay, yeah, I can see where you are coming from...
... although, looking at RUG Soulbound.... I'm starting to really like the Nightshade Peddler/Staticaster plan.

Yeah, I saw that at the Open. I'm on the fence about it (because you know, Searing Spear, Terminus, and Wrath of Taco Bell) but overall it seems like its powerful.

Is it any cuter then basi on a sparkmage? Its harder to pull off due to being tricolour, but acts as a sweeper lite in return. Its a lot easier to dig for creatures now compared to getting that combo when it was legal.
Also, why do people call supreme verdict "wrath of taco bell"? Assuming thats what your actualy refering to and not something else, in which case add what to the list as well.

I'm not sure anybody else calls it that (despite my best efforts). And the reason I call it Wrath of Taco Bell is because the name reminds of the the Verde Supreme, a taco from Taco Bell. Spanish name is also somewhat similar (supremo veredicto)
