Crushing Pain

Description

Crushing Pain is a red Instant — Arcane card from the 2004 Magic: The Gathering Champions of Kamigawa expansion. Identified as card number 162 in the set, this common card features a foil finish that gives it a distinct visual presence for collectors of the block. The card requires {1}{R} to cast and has a mana value of two, making it an efficient spell within the game's mechanics. Its primary effect allows the controller to deal six damage to a target creature that has already been dealt damage during the current turn, offering a powerful removal option against established threats. As one of the earlier sets in the Kamigawa block, it established the thematic foundation for the plane's ongoing conflicts between kami and human innovation. Collectors often seek out foil versions of common cards from this era to complete their set collections or to appreciate the foil treatment's shine and durability compared to nonfoil prints. The flavor text for Crushing Pain notes that the mere touch of a kami is like embracing the sun itself, hinting at the divine and dangerous nature of the spirits that inhabit this plane. While the card itself is a common rarity, its foil variant holds a special place in the hearts of block collectors who value the visual appeal and historical significance of early 2000s Magic releases. Whether you are building a vintage deck or simply curating a library of classic Magic cards, this foil Crushing Pain represents a key piece of the Champions of Kamigawa puzzle.
