Pyroblast

Instant

Choose one —
• Counter target spell if it's blue.
• Destroy target permanent if it's blue.

"Just the thing for those pesky water mages."
—Jaya Ballard, Task Mage

Legality

Legal in

Not legal in
Standard, Pioneer, Modern, Future Standard, Historic, Timeless, Alchemy, Penny Dreadful, Old School 93/94, Gladiator, Brawl, Standard Brawl, Competitive Brawl

Rulings (2)
  • The decision to counter a spell or destroy a permanent is a decision made on announcement before the target is selected. If the spell is redirected, this mode can't be changed, so only targets of the selected type are valid.
  • Pyroblast can target any spell or permanent, not just a blue one. It checks the color of the target only on resolution.
