About Purgatory

Purgatory, Enchantment, designed by Mike Dringenberg first released in May, 2020 in the set Mirage. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 1.76.

Purgatory would be beneficial in a control or midrange deck that focuses on generating value from creatures entering the graveyard, such as a reanimator or sacrifice strategy. While Purgatory offers a unique ability to potentially bring back exiled creatures, it may be overshadowed by more efficient options like Whip of Erebos or Animate Dead in terms of graveyard recursion, making it less likely to see play in competitive formats unless in a specific niche deck built around its mechanics.

Rules

04/01/08

This has been restored to a triggered ability that triggers when a nontoken creature is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, rather than a replacement effect. The creature does go to the graveyard, and will trigger any other abilities that look for this event.

10/04/04

If an opponent takes control of this card and pays for the upkeep ability, the creatures will enter the battlefield under their control even if you exiled them.
