Forced Worship

Description

Forced Worship is a white Enchantment — Aura card from the 2022 Jumpstart 2022 set, designated as card number 185 in the Jumpstart 2022 checklist. Designed as a Common rarity card, it carries a mana cost of {1}{W} and has a mana value of 2. The card is illustrated by Karl Kopinski, whose artwork defines the visual identity of this release. In gameplay, Forced Worship functions as an Aura that enchants a creature.

Players can activate its second ability by paying {2}{W} mana to return the Aura to its owner's hand, allowing for flexible resource management during a match. This mechanic provides a tactical option for controlling opponent threats without permanently removing the enchanted creature from the board. The flavor text accompanying the card reads, "Imprisonment teaches revenge. Hobbling teaches resignation." This narrative element adds depth to the card's theme, reflecting the broader storytelling elements found in the Jumpstart 2022 expansion. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading cards often appreciate the distinct design language and thematic consistency that Jumpstart 2022 brings to the table, making cards like Forced Worship interesting additions to any collection focused on modern expansions. Understanding the specific rules text and mana requirements is essential for collectors who value the functional aspects of the game alongside the aesthetic appeal. Forced Worship remains a notable piece of the Jumpstart 2022 puzzle, representing a straightforward yet strategic interaction available to players who build around white mana strategies.
