Each Incarnation's form and material is based on a creature type that's appropriate to their ability and color. Some of these have an additional condition of their controllers controlling a basic land of a specific type.


Several characters, including Laquatus and Eesha, attempt to obtain the potent orb for themselves and Kamahl's sister and mentor, Jeska and Balthor, endeavor to separate the Mirari from Kamahl for fear of the corrupting influence that the orb has on Kamahl. Judgment follows the story of Kamahl, who, in keeping truth to his promise made to a dying Chainer, keeps the Mirari safe from others and from himself. The set was accompanied by the novel of the same name. This was the last prerelease card with a language gimmick. At the Judgment prerelease a foil תהילה (Glory printed in Hebrew text) was handed out. The cards were sold in 15-card boosters which featured the artwork from Phantom Nishoba, in four preconstructed theme decks and a fat pack. Judgment was the first expansion to be simultaneously released on Magic Online in addition to regular card form. The set also featured Sylvan Safekeeper, Olle Råde's invitational card. In addition to this, there being more green and/or white cards, the general level of power of green and/or white cards was comparably more powerful than those of other-colored cards. As a reversal of Torment, there are numerous cards that refer to black or Swamps, green or Forests, and white and Plains. In addition to there being more green and white cards and fewer black cards, all of the multicolored cards are green–white and all of the lands are associated with green and white. There are 16 black cards, 33 green and white, 27 red and blue, 3 nonbasic lands, and 4 multicolored cards.

Judgment is a green- and white-heavy set that balances out the bias towards black that was created by the preceding set, Torment. Its expansion symbol represents a set of scales (a traditional symbol of justice). Judgment featured 143 black- bordered cards (55 commons, 44 uncommons and 44 rares).
