Description
Pain Magnification (Card 121) is a notable uncommon enchantment from the 2006 Magic: The Gathering Dissension set. Designed by artist Aleksi Briclot, this black-red card challenges players to manage risk through its unique triggered ability. Whenever an opponent takes three or more damage from a single source, they must discard a card, rewarding aggressive strategies with immediate hand disruption. This mechanic makes it a strategic tool for decks focused on direct damage and burn spells. Collectors often seek this card to complete the Dissension set, appreciating its place in Magic's rich history of black-red (Rakdos-themed) design. The card's mana cost of {1}{B}{R} and mana value of 3 position it as a mid-game threat. For enthusiasts of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, this release represents a key era of strategic depth.

Whenever an opponent is dealt 3 or more damage by a single source, that player discards a card.
