Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Delayed Blast Fireball is a tidy piece of red control technology that doubles as a political tool in Commander, especially in decks that want to slow the table down before landing a decisive burn finisher. At face value, three mana for a small sweep and chip damage to each opponent is already useful for tempo, picking off mana dorks, tokens, and early attackers. The real prize is the exile clause: foretell turns it into a much nastier five-damage reset that can punish wide boards while advancing a “hold up mana, then explode” game plan. It fits best in control or spellslinger shells, and it gets especially attractive alongside cards that care about casting from exile, such as Jeskai and Izzet value engines. A strong deckbuilding tip is to pair it with other foretell or impulse-draw effects so the upgrade is reliable, and to include ways to survive your own sweeper, like indestructible threats or damage-based recursion.
