# Painsmith Painsmith represents a straightforward design from Scars of Mirrodin's infect-focused set. The card offers a modest body with an ability that rewards playing poison-themed creatures, fitting squarely into limited formats where infect strategies matter. Collectors view this uncommon as a functional piece of its era rather than a standout, though it has modest appeal to players building infect decks across various formats. The foil variant exists but holds little premium value over nonfoil copies. Neither version commands collector attention beyond casual interest. Painsmith serves primarily as a set filler that competent players might recognize from limited play, but it lacks the mechanical innovation or cultural significance that drives serious collecting interest.
