Provenance

Where it came from

Retaliation was released as part of The List, an initiative designed to refresh the card pool for specific trading card games by reissuing iconic or strategically relevant cards. This particular card was curated to provide players with a specific tactical utility, reflecting the game's focus on reactive playstyles and board control during that era of development.

The card features artwork that aligns with the established aesthetic of its parent set, prioritizing functional clarity and thematic intensity. Designed to fit seamlessly into existing deck archetypes, it was received by the community as a stable inclusion for competitive formats, valued more for its mechanical impact than for any specific narrative departure from the series' core lore.
