What it does
Whenever an opponent is dealt 3 or more damage by a single source, that player discards a card.
The Rakdos make sure their victims remember their pain—or at least give up a little bit of their sanity in order to forget.

Where it came from
Pain Magnification was originally released in the 2004 set Champions of Kamigawa, deeply rooted in the folklore and spirits of Japanese mythology. This enchantment card reflects the set's focus on creature-based combat and the 'soulshift' mechanic, designed to amplify the consequences of damage dealt to creatures. Its inclusion in 'The List' is part of a curated selection of cards from Magic: The Gathering's history that periodically appear in set boosters, acting as a bridge between the game's modern iterations and its extensive archival catalog.
The card's illustration was crafted by artist Christopher Rush, a foundational figure in the aesthetic development of Magic: The Gathering. His design utilizes a stark, visceral visual language to communicate the card's function, emphasizing the theme of pain and reactive damage. While individual cards from this era often garner interest for their unique mechanical niches, the legacy of this design rests on its niche utility in specific deck archetypes that focus on punishing opponents for interacting with the board.
