Black Vise

Artifact

As this artifact enters, choose an opponent. At the beginning of the chosen player's upkeep, this artifact deals X damage to that player, where X is the number of cards in their hand minus 4.

Printings & Editions

Premodern-legal editions of Black Vise — old-border printings plus any period-appropriate foil promos (Arena/Judge, through Scourge). Hover to preview an edition on the card; click to select it.

Old-border editions + pre-Scourge promo foils (Arena/Judge). Modern-frame reprints (8th Edition onward) exist but are not period-appropriate printings.

Critical Rulings

"You choose one opposing player as it enters and it only affects that one player. This choice is not changed even if Black Vise changes controllers. It becomes useless but stays on the battlefield if that player leaves the game."

— 2004-10-04

"If the chosen player has four or fewer cards in their hand as Black Vise's ability resolves, the ability just won't do anything that turn."
