- For the cosmological phenomenon, see The Abyss.
Abyss is a slang term used by Magic R&D to describe spells that force all players/opponents to sacrifice a creature each turn. This mechanic is primary in black.[1] While not particularly common in modern design, the figurative version comes up commonly in Limited play when one player has a non-evasive creature too large to block profitably, and can attack each turn to force a chump block.
It is named after the eponymous The Abyss.
