What it does
Creatures without flying can't block this turn.
The Needle's Eye, a seldom-used passage that winds through Stensia's mountains, carries travelers close to Ashmouth—too close, some would argue.

Where it came from
Magmatic Chasm was released in 2016 as part of the Shadows over Innistrad expansion for Magic: The Gathering. This set returned players to the gothic horror-themed plane of Innistrad, focusing on themes of madness and transformation as the world descended into chaos due to the influence of the Eldrazi titan Emrakul. The card is a sorcery that exemplifies the aggressive nature of red mana, allowing a creature to become unblockable at the cost of being sacrificed, reflecting the set's high-stakes, volatile environment.
The artwork was created by James Paick, a prolific illustrator known for his work in fantasy and concept design. Paick aimed to capture the intense, destructive energy of a localized volcanic eruption tearing through the twisted landscape of Innistrad. The design emphasizes the visceral nature of the spell, depicting a jagged fissure in the earth that suggests a quick, forceful resolution to a battle, which is characteristic of common-rarity utility cards intended to influence combat pacing in Limited play formats.
