About Puncture Bolt

Puncture Bolt, Instant, designed by Franz Vohwinkel first released in May, 2020 in the set Shadowmoor.

This card, Puncture Bolt, would be beneficial in a red aggressive deck looking to control the board by dealing damage and weakening opposing creatures. While it provides a versatile option for removal, more efficient alternatives like Lightning Bolt or Shock may be preferred for their immediate impact and lower cost. Puncture Bolt could see play in specific metas where -1/-1 counters are particularly relevant, but in general, it may not be a top choice for competitive play.

Rules

05/01/08

If you target a creature with 1 toughness, Puncture Bolt deals 1 damage to it, then puts a -1/-1 counter on it, which reduces it to 0 toughness. The creature will be put into its owner’s graveyard as a result of having 0 toughness. Regeneration can’t save it.

05/01/08

Puncture Bolt will resolve fully (and give the creature a -1/-1 counter) even if the 1 damage would be enough to destroy it. (This would matter if a 3/3 creature with persist had already been dealt 2 damage, for example.)
