| '''Punisher'''-type cards allow an opponent to decide how to punish themselves, usually giving them a choice between either two bad situations or between something bad for them and a bonus for you. ''Punisher'' cards were first printed throughout the [[Odyssey block]] and were [[red]]. In the "alternative reality" themed set ''[[Planar Chaos]]'', [[black]] got two punisher cards, while a multicolored black/red punisher card was printed in ''[[Shadowmoor]]''. In ''[[Avacyn Restored]]'', Punisher came back again this time as a 4/3 creature for {{r}} that punishes for 4 damage.
