Chainer's Edict

Chainer's Edict was originally printed in the Torment expansion in 2002, designed as a powerful black sorcery that forces opponents to sacrifice a creature. It became a staple in various formats due to its flashback mechanic, which allows players to gain significant value by casting the card twice from the graveyard. This specific iteration appears in the 2023 Dominaria Remastered set, a curated compilation intended to celebrate the history of the plane of Dominaria through reprints featuring updated frames and art aesthetics.

The art for this version was produced by Svetlin Velinov, a prolific illustrator for the game known for his polished, dramatic style. In this depiction, he captures the atmospheric dark magic thematic to the character Chainer, a dementia summoner from Dominaria's lore. The card design adheres to the standard mechanical template of the original, serving as a functional piece of competitive history updated for modern card frames and player preferences.
