Signal Flare works as a relevant choice for how much it regards low-cost damaging spells with added effects.

The most immediate comparison one can make is with Torch and Temper. Signal Flare is not a Fast SpellFast Spells:
A spell that can be played during either player's turn. They can be used as a response to an enemy spell, a negative effect, during combat, or at the end of the turn. as them, but it deals 1 more damage than Temper. The greatest selling point of the card is its ScoutScout:

When choosing between these 3 cards, one must understand that each one of them offers something specific. If Torch is the alternative for highest, fast damage while Temper the one for low fast damage with an added WarcryWarcry:
