Flame Jet card art
Flame Jet deals 2 damage to any target for one red mana — functional, cheap, and forgettable. At that rate you're paying Shock prices for Shock output, and there are strictly better options at every power level.

Format Analysis

Where it lives, where it can’t

FormatVerdict
commander
legacy
modern
pioneer
standard
vintage
pauper
oathbreaker

Flame Jet is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but the only format where it earns a slot is Pauper, where the common restriction narrows the field enough that cheap direct damage sees real play. In Commander, 2 damage to a single target is rarely worth a card — players have 40 life, and the format rewards card advantage over incremental pings. Legacy and Vintage have access to far more efficient burn and interaction, so Flame Jet doesn't make the cut there either.

Price Context

Current price

$0.15 bulk tier

At $0.15, Flame Jet sits firmly in bulk territory. Don't expect that to change — low demand and wide availability keep bulk burn spells pinned to the floor.
