Judgment

Judgment

Judgment is the third and final set, and second small expansion, in the Odyssey block. It is the 26th Magic expansion and was released on May 27, 2002.

Judgment featured 143 black-bordered cards (55 commons, 44 uncommons and 44 rares). Its expansion symbol represents a set of scales (a traditional symbol of justice). Judgment is a green- and white-heavy set that balances out the bias towards black that was created by the preceding set, Torment. There are 16 black cards, 33 green and white, 27 red and blue, 3 nonbasic lands, and 4 multicolored cards. In addition to there being more green and white cards and fewer black cards, all of the multicolored cards are green–white and all of the lands are associated with green and white. As a reversal of Torment, there are numerous cards that refer to black or Swamps, green or Forests, and white and Plains. In addition to this, there being more green and/or white cards, the general level of power of green and/or white cards was comparably more powerful than those of other-colored cards. The set also featured Sylvan Safekeeper, Olle Råde's invitational card. Judgment was the first expansion to be simultaneously released on Magic Online in addition to regular card form.
