Meteor Blast deals 4 damage to each of up to four targets for a baseline of six mana — flexible, scalable, and capable of clearing a board or finishing multiple players in one shot. That cost is steep in most shells, but Hinata, Dawn-Crowned slashes it to near-nothing, making this one of the format's most broken rate-corrections on a single card.

Hinata, Dawn-Crowned
Hinata, Dawn-Crowned reduces the cost of Meteor Blast by one mana per target, so pointing it at four things drops the total to two mana — a four-target board wipe and potential game-ender for RR is the engine in a nutshell.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is where Meteor Blast actually lives — it's a bulk rare in most lists, but in Hinata, Dawn-Crowned decks it's a staple that warps how the whole shell is built. Outside that pairing, the rate is too inefficient for competitive 60-card formats, and it's not legal in Modern, Pioneer, Standard, or Pauper anyway. Legacy and Vintage allow it, but neither format has any reason to pay six-plus mana for conditional damage when cheaper, unconditional options exist. Stick to Commander, and specifically to shells that reduce its cost.

Price Context
Current price
$0.50 bulk tier
At $0.50, Meteor Blast is firmly bulk — easy to pick up without a second thought. Its demand is narrow enough that the price is unlikely to spike unless Hinata, Dawn-Crowned sees a major surge in popularity, so there's no urgency to buy in volume.
