Gatherer Card Rulings?, Legality?

  • 10/4/2004: 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.
  • 9/16/2007: You can change the text of this spell after announcing it to change the color that it will affect. This works, because the color isn't part of the targeting requirement.
  • 9/16/2007: Note that Pyroblast can target any spell or permanent, not just a blue one. It checks the color of the target only on resolution.
  • 9/16/2007: If there are no legal targets for either of the modes, you can't choose that mode.
