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.
