Chain Lightning

Description

Chain Lightning remains one of the most recognizable spells in Magic: The Gathering history, and the 2016 Eternal Masters release brings this iconic card to a new generation of players. Classified as an Uncommon card in the EMA set, this reprint maintains the classic design that has defined the card for decades. As a single-red mana cost sorcery, it serves as a foundational element for aggressive strategies, allowing players to deal three damage to any target with immediate effect.

For those building a Magic: The Gathering collection, owning a copy of Chain Lightning from Eternal Masters provides a tangible connection to the game's evolving landscape.
