Pyroblast

Instant    (CMC:1)

Choose one — • Counter target spell if it's blue. • Destroy target permanent if it's blue.

Water can be crushing, but it is predictable. Fire is always dynamic, its rage absolute and all-consuming.

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.
