What it does
Whenever this enchantment or another nonland permanent you control is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, each opponent sacrifices a permanent of their choice that shares a card type with it.

Where it came from
Martyr's Bond was originally released as part of the Commander 2011 product, a set designed to introduce unique, multiplayer-focused mechanics to Magic: The Gathering. The card represents a core tenet of white mana's color philosophy in the Commander format, emphasizing symmetrical effects and political leverage by punishing opponents who destroy a player's permanents. Its inclusion in 'The List'—a curated selection of cards from Magic's history that appear in Set Boosters—was intended to increase the accessibility of high-utility, older cards that might otherwise become prohibitively expensive or difficult for new players to find.
The artwork, illustrated by Aleksi Briclot, captures a solemn and rigid atmosphere reflective of the card's theme of spiritual obligation and sacrifice. Briclot utilized a composition that highlights the binding nature of the enchantment, reinforcing the card's function as a deterrent against board wipes or targeted removal. Upon its initial release, the card was well-received by players focusing on 'stax' or pillow-fort deck archetypes, becoming a staple for those looking to exert granular control over the state of the battlefield.
