Provenance

Where it came from

Castigate was released in 2006 as part of the Guildpact expansion set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. It was designed to support the Orzhov Syndicate, a guild within the Ravnica setting characterized by a thematic blend of white and black mana, representing themes of law, hierarchy, and organized religion. The card was created to provide a low-cost, effective tool for players to disrupt an opponent's strategy by exiling nonland cards from their hand.

The artwork was illustrated by Aleksi Briclot, who crafted a haunting, ethereal image that captures the Orzhov aesthetic of ghostly wealth and spiritual imprisonment. The design was received as a versatile utility card within competitive play during its time in the Standard format. Its ability to exile, rather than discard, made it a significant answer to graveyard-based strategies, cementing its status as a staple for control-oriented decks of that era.
