Tormented Soul

Description

The Tormented Soul is a Common creature card identified as number 38 in the Planechase 2012 expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Designed for the Black mana color, this card carries a mana cost of {B} and a mana value of 1. It is classified as a Creature — Spirit with a power and toughness of 1/1. The defining mechanical trait of the Tormented Soul is its evasion capability. The card’s rules text specifies that this creature cannot block and cannot be blocked. This unique interaction allows it to navigate combat in ways that standard creatures cannot, making it a distinct tactical option within the Planechase 2012 framework. The flavor text accompanying the card references the lore behind the spirit, noting that those who raged bitterly in life are cursed to roam the nether realms in death. Karl Kopinski provided the artistic direction for this release, contributing to the visual identity of the Planechase 2012 set. Collectors and players who appreciate the strategic depth of Magic: The Gathering often look for cards that offer specific mechanical advantages, such as the unblockable nature of the Tormented Soul. Its low mana cost and evasion make it a functional piece for decks focused on aggressive strategies or specific plane-based interactions. The card’s placement in the Planechase 2012 set code (PC2) helps collectors organize their libraries and identify the source of this spirit. For those building collections centered on the Planechase format or specific sets from this era, the Tormented Soul represents a tangible piece of the game’s history.
