# Chainer's Edict Chainer's Edict represents a pivotal moment in Magic's removal design. This uncommon from Torment introduced flashback as a mechanic to black's creature removal toolkit, allowing players to cast it twice from a single card. Collectors value it for its role in establishing flashback as a core mechanic across multiple colors and formats. The card sees consistent play in Legacy and Vintage, making it relevant beyond casual formats. Most collectors pursue nonfoil copies for playability, though foil versions hold appeal for format enthusiasts building premium decks. Its uncommon status means copies are accessible, but the foil variant remains moderately sought after by players wanting polished versions of their removal suite.
