Chain Reaction

Description

Chain Reaction is a distinctive Sorcery card found in the 2022 release Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate. Cataloged as card number 783 in the CLB set code, this Rare card brings a dynamic board-clearing effect to the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. With a mana cost of {2}{R}{R} and a mana value of 4, it requires two red mana to cast, fitting into the red color identity. The strategic depth of Chain Reaction lies in its scaling damage output. Upon resolution, it deals X damage to each creature on the battlefield, where X is determined by the total number of creatures currently in play. This mechanic makes the card highly variable and context-dependent, rewarding players who can manipulate the battlefield count to maximize its impact. It serves as a powerful tool for controlling the game state, particularly in Commander formats where board presence is often expanded. For collectors, this card represents a key piece of the Commander Legends subset, which focuses on the multiplayer Commander format. The artwork for Chain Reaction was created by Trevor Claxton, adding to the visual appeal of the CLB expansion. As the Collector Legends series expands its library, cards like Chain Reaction remain essential for those looking to complete their Commander Legends collection or build themed decks around mass-removal effects.
