Many people wonder why Psionic Blast is consider more powerful than Char. The answer is simple. Blue, by tradition, isn't the color of aggression. It's on the other side of Red and Green and thus were designed to be more passive and controlling. Psionic Blast is one of the exceptions where planeswalkers could do direct damage to kill a creature or opponent. Combine with other blue control cards, PB is very dangerous, compare to Char is already in a damage-abundant color. Last but not least, there are also way fewer creatures with protection from blue than red.

I love the wording on this card. You get to deal the damage, but don't forget that it deals some to you as well XD almost like the card is warning you to use it with care :P

Garbage card, but then again there is not a lot of direct blue damage but just stick to red they have tons of direct damage and the best one of them all Lightning Bolt.
