Oracle Text
Lava Burst deals X damage to any target. If Lava Burst would deal damage to a creature, that damage can't be prevented or dealt instead to another permanent or player.
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Lava Burst is a straightforward but surprisingly flexible X-spell that fits best in red control or midrange-tempo shells, where you want to turn excess mana into a scalable answer or finisher. In Ice Age’s harsher, more denial-heavy environment, a common burn spell that can reliably close games or remove a key blocker matters a lot, and the “can’t be prevented or dealt instead” clause gives it special bite against damage prevention and redirection effects. That makes it particularly useful against protection tricks, defensive fog-style effects, or creatures that rely on damage replacement to survive. Deckbuilding-wise, it pairs well with mana acceleration like Sol Ring or ritual-style burst mana, letting you jump from early survival into a lethal X value. It also plays nicely with card draw or land-ramp effects that help you stockpile mana, since every extra point turns directly into reach.
