If nothing else, you can also cast Pyroblast on an irrelevant target, just to get it out of your hand, if you're being crushed in a Black Vise or the like.

These are the important differences between Pyroblast and Red Elemental Blast.
1. Pyroblast can target Phantasmal Image (copying a non-blue creature) to make it disappear.
2. A blue mage can cancel Pyroblast with Misdirection and changing the target to a non-blue permanents.
3. If you have extra mana in a Storm combo, you can use Pyroblast on any permanent to make your Tendrils of Agony bigger.
There are advantages and disadvantages to either card. I recommend Red Elemental Blast because it's harder to Redirect, unless you play Storm cards or your friends play Phantasmal Image.

I understand why Pyroblast is being called better, but I frankly would prefer Red Elemental Blast over it. I feel that in order for Pyroblast to be better...you have to be doing something that looks almost cheesy.
In other words, I'm glad for the disadvantages Red Elemental Blast has. I think they make sense. I like cards to have disadvantages that make sense, especially when they're already doing something good anyway. :)
