Shock is one of the simplest burn spells in Magic, dealing two damage for one red mana. In Modern, it is overshadowed by Lightning Bolt but still shows up in budget Burn lists and spell-focused brews. Players like it as a flexible early-game answer that can also finish off weakened creatures or planeswalkers. Its sheer recognizability keeps it on the radar even when more efficient options exist.
