About Branching Bolt
Branching Bolt, Instant, designed by Vance Kovacs first released in Oct, 2008 in the set Shards of Alara and was printed exactly in 3 different ways.
This card, Branching Bolt, would be beneficial in a red-green aggressive deck that aims to deal damage quickly and efficiently. While it offers versatility in targeting creatures with or without flying, there are potentially better options like Lightning Bolt or similar direct damage spells that provide more immediate impact for the same cost. However, Branching Bolt could still see play in decks looking for flexible removal options or in formats where its specific targeting abilities are advantageous.
Rules

You may choose just the first mode (targeting a creature with flying), just the second mode (targeting a creature without flying), or both modes (targeting a creature with flying and a creature without flying). You can’t choose a mode unless there’s a legal target for it.
