Chain of Smog

Description

Chain of Smog is a black sorcery card from the 2022 Magic: The Gathering The List set, identified by the set code PLST and card number ONS-132. Designed for players who enjoy disrupting their opponents' resources, this uncommon card presents a compelling strategic choice during gameplay. The card requires a total mana cost of two, consisting of one generic mana and one black mana, making it an efficient inclusion in decks built around the black color identity. The gameplay effect centers on card advantage through disruption. When cast, it forces a target player to discard two cards from their hand. Uniquely, the targeted player is then given the option to copy the spell. If they choose to do so, they may select a new target for that copy, potentially forcing themselves or another opponent to discard additional cards. This interactive element adds a layer of complexity, allowing the caster to influence the board state while giving the opponent a tactical decision that could backfire if they are low on cards. The 2022 iteration features striking artwork by Greg Staples, adding visual appeal to the physical card. The List cards are highly regarded for their unique foil treatments and the opportunity they provide to expand a collection with diverse pieces from across Magic's history. Whether you are building a competitive deck or expanding your archive of Magic: The Gathering trading card game cards, Chain of Smog represents a valuable and mechanically interesting addition to any collection.
