About Pigment Storm

Pigment Storm, Sorcery, designed by Bayard Wu first released in Apr, 2021 in the set Strixhaven: School of Mages and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of ₱ 0.49.

A red aggressive burn deck would benefit from using Pigment Storm as it provides efficient removal for creatures while also dealing damage to the opponent. However, there are better cards like Lightning Bolt or Searing Blaze that offer more versatility and efficiency in dealing damage. Pigment Storm could see play in specific metagames where dealing damage to the opponent is more valuable than straight removal, but overall it may not be a top choice for competitive decks.

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.
