What it does
Each player loses half their life, then discards half the cards in their hand, then sacrifices half the permanents they control of their choice. Round down each time.
The darkest corners of the Detention Bog hide natural laboratories that quietly spawn deadly infections.

Where it came from
Pox Plague was released as part of the Mystical Archive, a specialized subset of cards featured within the 2021 Magic: The Gathering expansion, Strixhaven: School of Mages. The collection was designed to celebrate the history of powerful spells throughout the game's multiverse, featuring unique, thematic art styles that differed from the standard set aesthetic. The cards were intended to evoke the feel of an ancient library or arcane tome, providing players with stylized, collectible versions of iconic black-mana sorceries.
The card’s illustration was crafted by the artist Richard Kane Ferguson, a long-time contributor to the game known for his expressive, painterly style. Ferguson’s work on this piece was aimed at capturing the visceral and chaotic nature of a magical contagion, utilizing textured brushwork and a dark, moody palette to reflect the grim utility of the spell. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players and collectors alike, particularly those who appreciate the distinctive, high-fantasy artistic direction of the Mystical Archive subset.
