What it does
First strike, trample, lifelink
Stagger — Whenever Lightning deals combat damage to a player, until your next turn, if a source would deal damage to that player or a permanent that player controls, it deals double that damage instead.
"Lightning. It flashes bright, then fades away. It can't protect. It only destroys."
