Text of card Pyroblast

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

Rules and information for Pyroblast

2004-10-04

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.

2016-06-08

Pyroblast can target any spell or permanent, not just a blue one. It checks the color of the target only on resolution.
