Cone of Flame

Cone of Flame was printed as a common-rarity sorcery in the Magic 2015 core set, released by Wizards of the Coast in July 2014. The card represents a staple red effect in Magic: The Gathering, designed to provide a flexible removal option that can split damage among multiple targets. Core sets of this era were intended to serve as a bridge between foundational gameplay and the more complex mechanics introduced in expansion blocks, balancing ease of play with tactical utility.

The card features artwork by Christopher Moeller, who has contributed extensively to the visual language of the game for decades. His illustration captures the aggressive, visceral nature of red mana, depicting a conical burst of magical fire. During the Magic 2015 environment, the card served as a functional piece for Limited formats, where its ability to pick off low-toughness creatures was valued by players drafting red decks.
