Chaosphere from the Mirage set is a powerful and iconic World Enchantment that reshapes the battlefield by altering how creatures interact in combat. For a mana cost of {2}{R}, this rare card imposes a unique restriction: creatures with flying can only block other creatures that also have flying. At the same time, it grants reach to all creatures without flying, allowing them to block flying attackers as though they possessed the ability themselves. This dual effect dramatically shifts combat dynamics, favoring ground-based strategies while neutralizing the traditional advantage of flying creatures. The card’s simple yet impactful text makes it a strategic centerpiece in decks looking to control the flow of aerial threats.

As a member of the prestigious Reserved List, Chaosphere holds both gameplay significance and collectible value. Its art, illustrated by Steve Luke, captures the surreal and chaotic essence of the spell, reflecting the turbulent magical conflicts of Jamuraa, the African-inspired continent on Dominaria where the Mirage block is set. The flavor text—“I dance the nothing dance, / Feet in the air, knives in the ground.” —Femeref chant—adds cultural depth, tying the card to the mystical traditions of the Femeref people and enriching the lore of the Magic: The Gathering universe.

Chaosphere is not only a nostalgic piece from Mirage, the first set in Magic’s original block structure, but also a functional card in formats where it's legal, including Legacy and Vintage. Its world supertype means it obeys the "world rule"—if another world permanent enters the battlefield, only the newest one remains. This creates high-stakes decision-making, as playing Chaosphere can remove opposing world enchantments, but also makes it vulnerable to the same mechanic. Whether used for competitive play, Commander politics, or as a collectible treasure, Chaosphere remains a compelling artifact of Magic’s rich history
