About Pyroblast

Pyroblast, Instant, designed by Kaja Foglio first released in Jun, 1995 in the set Ice Age and was printed exactly in 18 different ways. It see play in 4 formats: Pauper, Commander, Premodern and Duel Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 42.29.

A deck that focuses on aggressive red spell-based strategies would benefit from including Pyroblast in its arsenal, as it provides versatile answers to blue spells and permanents. However, in a competitive environment, Red Elemental Blast is generally considered a more efficient option due to its lower mana cost and broader range of targets, making it a more popular choice for sideboard tech against blue-heavy decks. Pyroblast could still see play as a budget alternative or in specific metagames where its flexibility is particularly valuable.
