In general psychic magic falls into Blue color pie...even the breaks Psionic Blast, Psychic Purge, Psychic Allergy, Telepathy, Telekinesis( what a wasted card name) with the occasional shift into Black Psychic Spear, until you hit Pyrokinesis being Red. Cpuld you see psychic magic/powers across all colors?

I could imagine a psionic themed set where we spread it across all five colors. In a vacuum, it’s pretty blue.

Suggestion for article/dtw: The inertia in the color pie or design in general caused by e.g. demonic tutor and times it was broken e.g. psionic blast

I’ll add it to the short list. : )

Psionic blast, psionic entity, psionic gift, psionic sliver, psychic venom, psychic purge, psychic barrier, psychic allergy, mind bomb, are all examples of blue using psychic for damage. Are any of these still available to blue under current color pir restrictions?

No. Blue no longer gets direct damage in its slice of the color pie. It’s still able to flavor things as psionic if used on an ability blue can do.

There are a few on your non-Blue list that actually do have have cards. That being said, I think Blue is just fine and most of these cards are older and oddball anyways, just figured I would point some out. Direct Damge is Psionic Blast. Life gain is Relic Bind/Merchant Ship and few other more niche spells. Creature Destruction is Frozen Solid/Dwindle. Land searching is Dreamscape Artist and technically Mana Severance. Damage prevention is Cephalid Illusionist/Energy Field and a few others.

I was talking modern color pie. Magic’s past is filled with things the color shouldn’t have done (or was in color pie at the time).

During the GDS, if a question pertains to effect given to colors in the color pie, will it specify whether it wants new world order designs or not? I'm assuming you wouldn't fit a psionic blast question in there to confuse anybody

I would be talking about the modern color pie.

Is Psionic Blast too much of a break to be reprinted or is it possible? I love it's flavor so much and would like to see it in a new frame not promo.

It’s not in blue’s color pie.

Flashback: Do you ever think Tim and Psionic Blast should be a red cards?

1995 Mark: Psionic Blast makes a lot of sense. I’m not sure about Tim.

Were Psionic Blast and Prodigal Sorcerer born as color pie bleeds or was this something ok for Blue back in these days?

Back in the day, blue had limited access to small amounts of direct damage. That didn’t last too long although the “Tim” ability lasted the longest.

It seems that there are two ways to do the color pie: Either colors can't have certain things, or they can only have those things if they are really bad. You seem to favor the former, but is there room for the latter at all? I miss cards like Unyaro Bee Sting, Psionic Blast, and Gate to Phyerexia, where the color's weakness is shown by how inefficient the card is, compared to the same card in the "proper" color or by extra hoops or drawbacks. Is there room for that kind of card nowadays?

Most players are very bad at recognizing card power so it does a poor job of communicating weakness. Also, even weak versions see play keeping the color from having to look to other colors to fill in its weakness (which is a big part of why colors have weaknesses in the first place). Hornet Sting, as an example, saw tournament play.

What's your opinion on the time Psionic Blast was included on the timeshifted sheet from Time Spiral? A funny look at some of the strange things that were printed in Magic's past, or a confusing message about blue's color pie?

Both.
