What it does
Whenever a creature is dealt damage, destroy it. It can't be regenerated.
As the sludge below began to shift and take shapes, Gerrard turned from the railing to Orim. "I suppose," he said, "it's a little too late for prayer, isn't it?"

Where it came from
Death Pits of Rath was released in 1997 as part of the Tempest expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, Tempest was the first set in the Rath Cycle, a narrative arc centered on a plane dominated by the artificial, parasitic realm of Rath. The card mechanics reflect the brutal, volatile nature of this environment, focusing on the destruction of creatures that enter the battlefield.
The card features illustration by artist Brian Snodgrass, whose work during this era helped define the dark, atmospheric aesthetic of the Rath plane. The design emphasizes the claustrophobic and hazardous geography of the setting, depicting the pits as a landscape of decay. Upon its release, the card was recognized for its unique board-control utility, often utilized in casual and sideboard play to punish creature-heavy strategies.
