Description
Released in 2013 as part of the Commander product line, Decree of Pain (card number 72) is a significant rare sorcery within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed with a black mana identity, this card demands a substantial mana investment of {6}{B}{B} to activate its primary effect, which destroys all creatures on the battlefield without allowing regeneration. This board-clearing capability makes it a powerful tool for strategic gameplay, rewarding players by allowing them to draw cards for each creature removed from play. The card also features the cycling mechanic, enabling players to discard it for {3}{B}{B} to draw a card, while simultaneously weakening all creatures by -2/-2 until end of turn. Illustrated by Mathias Kollros, the 2013 Commander set established a distinct aesthetic for eternal formats, and Decree of Pain remains a notable entry for collectors tracking specific card numbers. The combination of high mana cost, board wipe potential, and cycling utility defines the collectible value of this 2013 release.
