Torment is the second set in the Odyssey Block and focused mainly on Black. This expansion set is special, since it is the first expansion set ever which contains an unequal number of each color. It has 40 Black cards, 28 Blue cards, 28 Red cards, 21 Green Cards and 21 White cards. This unbalance is, however, balanced by the release of the third set - Judgment.

Torment's release marked a tremendous power boost to the color black. Relative to other mechanics at the time, Torment's Madness mechanic proved to be overpowered. The "Swamp Rewards" cards along with Chainer's Edict and Nantuko Shade were incredibly potent in tournament play. Previously, control decks were almost synonymous with blue counter-based control decks, but Torment ended the fallacy that a control deck was unviable without countermagic.

Story: Torment tells the story of Chainer, a dementia summoner of the Cabal, who first discovers the Mirari and rises through the ranks of the Cabal, eventually becoming rival to the Cabal Patriarch himself.
