Description
Bituminous Blast is an uncommon Instant card identified by card number 36857 within the Magic Online Promos set released in 2013. This Magic: The Gathering trading card game card carries a mana cost of {3}{B}{R} and possesses a mana value of 5. Designed by artist Aleksi Briclot, the card is presented in a foil finish that enhances its visual appeal for collectors. In gameplay, Bituminous Blast offers a dual effect: it deals 4 damage to a target creature and triggers the Cascade ability.

This mechanic adds strategic depth and excitement to every play. Collectors often seek out foil variants from promotional sets like Magic Online Promos to diversify their holdings. The Bituminous Blast card serves as an interesting piece for enthusiasts of the game's intricate mechanics and promotional releases. Whether you are building a themed collection or simply appreciate the strategic nuances of Cascade, this card represents a distinct moment in Magic: The Gathering history. Its specific card number and set affiliation make it a recognizable addition for any serious catalog.
