Notes and Rules Information for Searing Blaze:
  • Whether you had a land enter under your control this turn is checked as this spell resolves, not as you cast it. (2010-03-01)
  • Having more than one land enter under your control this turn provides no additional benefit. (2010-03-01)
  • The landfall ability checks for an action that has happened in the past. It doesn't matter if a land that entered the battlefield under your control previously in the turn is still on the battlefield, is still under your control, or is still a land. (2010-03-01)
  • Once the spell resolves, having a land enter under your control provides no further benefit. (2010-03-01)
  • The effect of this spell's landfall ability replaces its normal effect. If you had a land enter under your control this turn, only the landfall-based effect happens. (2010-03-01)
  • You must choose two targets as you cast Searing Blaze: a player and a creature that player controls. If you can't (because there are no creatures on the battlefield, perhaps), then you can't cast the spell. (2010-03-01)
  • If either target is illegal by the time Searing Blaze resolves, it still deals damage to the other target. (2010-03-01)
