Description
Released in 2002 as part of the Torment expansion, Chainer's Edict stands as card number 57 within the Magic: The Gathering catalog. This uncommon sorcery allows players to target an opponent and force them to sacrifice a creature of their choice. Its enduring appeal among collectors stems from its powerful gameplay utility, further enhanced by the flashback mechanic which permits casting from the graveyard for {5}{B}{B}. The 2002 foil variant offers a distinct visual treatment for enthusiasts building their Black deck collections or completing the Torment set. Featuring art by Ben Thompson, this card remains a staple for those interested in the strategic depth of early 2000s TCG design. Collectors often seek this print for its combination of mechanical significance and aesthetic finish, making it a notable entry in any serious Magic: The Gathering assembly.
