Red Elemental Blast

Description

Red Elemental Blast, identified as card number 171, is a foundational Instant card from the 1994 Summer Magic / Edgar set. Produced by Wizards of the Coast, this Magic: The Gathering release holds a unique place in the game's early history due to the set's brief availability and subsequent reprints. As a single-mana cost card, it offers a strategic choice: countering a target blue spell or destroying a target blue permanent. This flexibility has made it a staple for blue disruption in various formats over the decades. Collectors often seek this card to complete the Summer Magic / Edgar checklist or to add a piece of TCG history to their collection. The card's design reflects the early artistic style of Magic: The Gathering, featuring bold text and a clear layout typical of the era. Whether you are a long-time player reminiscing about the game's origins or a new collector exploring its roots, this card represents a significant moment in trading card game evolution. Its status as a common card from a short-run set adds to its appeal for those interested in the broader narrative of Magic's development.
