About Hydroblast
Hydroblast, Instant, designed by Kaja Foglio first released in Jun, 1995 in the set Ice Age and was printed exactly in 12 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Pauper and Premodern. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 47.08.
Hydroblast would be beneficial in a blue control deck that struggles against red spells or permanents. While Hydroblast is effective against red spells and permanents, the versatility of cards like [[Counterspell]] or [[Vedalken Shackles]] may offer more consistent value in a wider range of matchups. However, Hydroblast could still see play as a sideboard option in a metagame dominated by red decks.

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.
