Riddle of Lightning, Instant, designed by Daren Bader first released in May, 2007 in the set Future Sight and was printed exactly in 4 different ways.
A deck that focuses on manipulating the top of the library, such as a red/blue control or combo deck, would benefit from using Riddle of Lightning as it provides both card selection and potential direct damage. However, there are better cards with similar effects like Banefire or Electrolyze which offer more consistent damage output or versatility, so Riddle of Lightning may not see much play in competitive decks but could be fun in casual or themed decks.

If the chosen target is an illegal target by the time Riddle of Lightning tries to resolve, the spell doesn’t resolve. You don’t scry 3 or reveal any card.
