That’s an amazing removal spell.
I’ve done it before 😆 If it attacked, and Berserk can only be cast before combat damage.
Why, in my day, we Berserked our own Blood Lusted Ball Lightnings, and we liked it!



Ball Lightning is in Standard, it’s in Foundations. 🤔

Assuming SOA is like the original Strixhaven archive cards (and I’d be shocked if it weren’t), Berserk won’t be standard legal.
In the original Strixhaven set, being reprinted in STA didn’t make a card legal in standard. Instead, standard legal cards (from other sets) were reprinted below rare, and cards not already legal in standard were reprinted as rare or above.
Notably, SOA includes Monstrous Rage at uncommon. It would be standard legal if it weren’t banned. The set may have been designed and finalized before it was banned, resulting in it appearing at all as an uncommon in SOA.
