It is one of the most elegant hate cards ever printed specifically designed to help combat blue’s dominance. For just one mana, you can counter or destroy a key blue card from your opponent’s. It’s played in Legacy, Vintage, Pauper and Old School decks; almost always as a sideboard card against counterspells, card draw, and blue creatures or other permanents. In Legacy, \u003cem\u003eREB\u003c\/em\u003e is a true sideboard staple primarily used to counteract blue decks. Here it sees play in various tempo, control, and even combo decks (e.g. UR Delver, Jeskai Control, Moon Stompy, Painter). In Vintage, it’s one of the few one-mana answers to the blue-heavy metagame. Because Vintage decks are over 60% blue, \u003cem\u003eREB\u003c\/em\u003e is practically never a dead card and has great utility out of the sideboard. For Pauper, its also a must have sideboard card in many red decks to combat against various blue decks (e.g. Mono Blue Aggro, Dimir Control, High Tide). In Old School (93\/94), \u003cem\u003eREB\u003c\/em\u003e is an essential piece of every red player’s sideboard to keep blue mages honest. \u003cem\u003eRed Elemental Blast\u003c\/em\u003e is not on the Reserved List and has been reprinted many times.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"artwhirled","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44762038435885,"sku":null,"price":0.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/8000\/6957\/files\/Blue_Elemental_Blast_Repaint_Alpha_front_a_white.jpg?v=1775050530","url":"https:\/\/artwhirled.com\/products\/red-elemental-blast","provider":"Art Whirled","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
