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. Set on the gothic horror-inspired plane of Innistrad, the card reflects the chaotic, encroaching influence of the Eldrazi titan Emrakul, which disrupted the established supernatural ecosystem of the world. It was designed to represent the volatile, corrupted landscape as the plane began to collapse into madness.
The artwork was created by Lake Hurwitz, who utilized a vivid, jagged aesthetic to convey the physical rending of the earth. The design focuses on the visual language of red mana, emphasizing raw destruction and the tactical ability to render defensive barriers ineffective. Upon its release, it was noted primarily for its role as a situational utility card in limited formats, where it provided a classic red-aligned mechanic for enabling aggressive plays by preventing opposing creatures from blocking.
