About Combust

Combust, Instant, designed by Jaime Jones first released in Jul, 2010 in the set Magic 2011 and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.70.

This card, Combust, would be beneficial in a red deck that struggles against white or blue creature-heavy strategies, providing a reliable way to deal with problematic threats that can't be countered or prevented. While there may be other removal spells with more versatility or flexibility, Combust's ability to bypass prevention and counter spells makes it a strong sideboard option in certain metagames where white or blue creatures are prevalent, potentially seeing play in specific matchups where its unique strengths shine.

Rules

08/15/10

Combust can be targeted by spells and abilities that try to counter it (such as Cancel). Those spells and abilities will resolve, but the part of their effect that would counter Combust won’t do anything. Any other effects those spells and abilities have will work as normal.

08/15/10

Effects that replace or redirect damage without using the word “prevent” aren’t affected by Combust; they’ll work as normal.

08/15/10

Spells that create prevention effects affecting the targeted creature can still be cast, and abilities that create prevention effects affecting the targeted creature can still be activated. However, damage prevention shields (including those created before Combust was cast) don’t have any effect on the damage dealt by Combust. If such a prevention effect has an additional effect, the additional effect will still work (if possible).
