About Remorseless Punishment

Remorseless Punishment, Sorcery, designed by Ryan Barger first released in Jan, 2016 in the set Oath of the Gatewatch Promos and was printed exactly in 3 different ways.

This card, Remorseless Punishment, would benefit a control or midrange deck that aims to disrupt the opponent's hand and board state while also dealing direct damage. However, there are more efficient cards in Magic: the Gathering that offer similar effects, such as Mind Twist or Liliana of the Veil, which could provide better value for the mana cost. Overall, while Remorseless Punishment can be a situational and fun card to play, it may not be the most competitive choice in a deck looking to optimize its strategy.

Rules

01/22/16

Any abilities that trigger while Remorseless Punishment is resolving will be put on the stack after it has completely resolved.

01/22/16

The player can’t choose to discard two cards unless they have at least two cards in hand. Similarly, that player can’t choose to sacrifice a creature or planeswalker unless they control one. This means that if the target opponent doesn’t have two cards in hand and doesn’t control a creature or planeswalker, that player will lose 5 life and then lose 5 life again.
