Lightning Storm is a rare shaman spell card, from the Classic set.

Notes

  • The damage dealt by Lightning Storm is calculated individually for each minion, so one minion may take 2 damage and another may take 3 damage.

Strategy

Lightning Storm is a cheap, but somewhat random board clear for shamans. Keep in mind that the Overload will kick in next turn; miscalculating the next turn can be a huge mistake after yielding an unlucky 2 damage, instead of the hoped-for 3.

Spell Damage bonuses from minions are especially potent with Lightning Storm, with even +1 giving it the potential of a LegacyFlamestrike. In a pinch you can even use LegacyTotemic Call and hope for a ClassicWrath of Air Totem.

Trivia

  • According to Ben Brode, Lightning Storm once dealt 1-10 damage, and cost "a lot more mana".[1]
  • This spell's animation is different when you have Spell Damage.
