Legality is a property of the card, not the printing, so it is identical for all 12 versions.
Official Judge Precedents
2 PrecedentsThe decision to counter a spell or destroy a permanent is a decision made on announcement before the target is selected. If the spell is redirected, this mode can't be changed, so only targets of the selected type are valid.
Hydroblast can target any spell or permanent, not just a red one. It checks the color of the target only on resolution.
