Trial of Agony
Oracle Text
Choose two target creatures controlled by the same opponent. That player chooses one of those creatures. Trial of Agony deals 5 damage to that creature, and the other can't block this turn.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Trial of Agony is a clean, punishing red sorcery that fits best in aggressive tempo shells, especially in Duskmourn where pressure and fear matter as much as raw damage. Its design forces a bad choice: your opponent either takes 5 to a key creature or protects it and leaves another body unable to block, which often opens a lethal attack step. That makes it excellent for clearing a path for haste creatures, evasive threats, or a wide board that wants to keep the initiative. It also plays well with effects that increase combat pressure, such as extra-combat spells or cards that reward damage to creatures. In deckbuilding, prioritize burn-heavy red decks with a low curve and enough creatures to capitalize on the temporary block restriction; it gets even better when you can pair it with menace or trample, since the “can’t block” clause becomes a near-guaranteed damage boost.
