The Torment expansion set was printed with black borders on the face of the
cards.
Cards can be identified by the
expansion symbol on the right hand
side of the middle section. The expansion symbol is
black for common cards ( )
silver for uncommon cards ( )
and gold for rare cards ( ).
The 143 card set's breakdown by rarity looks like this:
| Normal | Foil |
| 44 Rares | 44 Rare Foils |
| 44 Uncommons | 44 Uncommon Foils |
| 55 Commons | 55 Common Foils |
This set is unusual in that it contains an uneven number of cards of
each color. This is the first expansion set to ever do that. Black has 40
cards, Blue and Red have 28 cards each, Green and White have 21 cards each,
and there are 5 nonbasic lands. This unevenness is balanced in the
Judgment card set.
This set contains foil premium cards. These cards are
identical to the normal cards in name, text, etc. They are just printed
with a metalic foil finish. Every card in this set has a foil version.
Foil versions of common cards appear in the common card slot in about
one in 12 boosters. Foil versions of uncommon cards appear in an uncommon
slot in about one in 20 boosters. Foil versions of rare cards appear in
a rare slot in about one in 40 boosters.
It was released on February 8, 2002.
The print run is unknown.
