Chastise

Description

The Judgment expansion, released in 2002, established a distinct era in Magic: The Gathering history, focusing heavily on the themes of angels and divine intervention. Within this set, Chastise (Card #8) stands out as a key white instant card that offers both defensive utility and life gain. Designed with a mana cost of {3}{W}, this uncommon card allows players to destroy a target attacking creature while gaining life equal to its power. This card, illustrated by Carl Critchlow, represents the strategic gameplay elements that defined the early 2000s trading card game landscape. Enthusiasts of vintage Magic: The Gathering often seek out cards from this period to complete their sets or to appreciate the foundational mechanics of the game. The product identity is firmly rooted in its 2002 release, making it a notable piece for those studying the evolution of the format. Whether you are a historian of the game or a collector of classic expansions, this entry from the Judgment series provides a tangible connection to that pivotal time in TCG development.
