Where it came from
Chain of Vapor was originally printed in the 2002 expansion Onslaught, representing the set's focus on storm mechanics and graveyard interaction. The card gained significant notoriety in competitive Magic: The Gathering as a versatile, low-cost utility spell capable of bouncing non-land permanents, frequently used to handle problematic artifacts or enchantments in fast-paced formats like Legacy and Commander.
The Commander 2016 printing featured here utilizes the classic illustration by Greg Staples, who captured the card's essence of volatile transformation through swirling, ethereal wisps of energy. This specific release served to increase accessibility for the growing Commander player base, consolidating the card's reputation as a staple piece of interaction for blue-aligned decks.
