Where it came from
Chain of Vapor was originally released in the 2002 expansion set Onslaught. As a flexible blue instant that allows players to return nonland permanents to their owner's hand with the potential to chain copies through a sacrifice mechanic, it became a staple in various constructed formats, particularly within the Commander and Vintage communities where its low mana cost and utility remain highly valued.
The version included in Mystery Booster 2, featuring collector number 156, serves as a reprint that brings the card to a wider audience within a set designed to showcase a curated selection of Magic: The Gathering's history. Like many cards in the Mystery Booster series, this iteration retains the classic aesthetic established during the card's debut, reflecting the iconic art direction and mechanical design philosophy of early 2000s blue control spells.
