About Pigment Storm

Pigment Storm, Sorcery, designed by Bayard Wu first released in Apr, 2021 in the set Strixhaven: School of Mages. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 0.01.

A deck that focuses on aggressive red spells and burn strategies would benefit from including Pigment Storm, as it provides a direct damage option that can also target the opponent if needed. While Pigment Storm is a solid card for such a deck, there are potentially better options like Lightning Bolt or Skewer the Critics, which offer more efficient damage output for the mana cost. Whether Pigment Storm should see play ultimately depends on the specific strategy and synergies within the deck, but it can be a viable inclusion for decks looking for additional removal and reach.

Rules

04/16/21

Excess damage caused by a spell or ability is similar to how combat damage from a creature with trample is handled. Start with the amount of damage being dealt to the creature and determine what is “lethal.” This is the creature’s toughness minus the amount of damage that it already has marked on it, but ignoring any replacement or prevention effects that will modify this damage. Also ignore whether the creature has an ability such as indestructible that will result in it not being destroyed by this damage.

04/16/21

If the target creature is an illegal target by the time Pigment Storm tries to resolve, the spell won’t resolve. It won’t deal damage to any player.
