What it does

Choose one —

• Counter target spell if it's blue.

• Destroy target permanent if it's blue.

Rulings

2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 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.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Pyroblast

17 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Pyroblast — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
