This is a pretty nice card, letting you "eye for an eye" when you loose an artifact, land, etc. Only problem is, THIS card will become a prime target for such removal.

If only it had shroud...

Karmic Justice is nothing like Karma or Justice.

U-B-E-R
I run two of these along side three Replenishs in my Enchantment/Pegasus deck. I love it when people nuke all my enchantments.

Doesn't even need shroud to be good. If your opponent kills it it triggers of it's own kill allowing you to kill one of his permanents. In that case, the card is the same as having red: "an opponent discards a card, destroy one of his permanents, tap some of his lands" which is by itself a fine effect for 3 mana.

Works best if you can sneak it into play in response to mass removal spell. For instance, a sacrificed Academy Rector or a Hideaway land.

It's still a good effect on its own.

Playing Enchantress deck with Sterling Grove and the like, the only fear is a massive enchantment removal. Karmic Justice turn that fear into game ending... for your opponent.

Used to have two when I started playing. It never triggers, not even once.

If only it didn't say noncreature...

Could be nice in an Opalescence deck- until Opalescence hits, that is. Until then it can protect your soon-to-be creatures.

Grossly Underrated. Run this in any artifact and/or enchantment heavy deck, or in any meta where Wasteland is rampant. Your opponent has to get rid of this to destroy any of your permanents including lands unanswered, and even if they do, you still get a freebie destroy of anything of theirs you want. 5/5 easy.

don't own it, seen it played, fell in love with the concept. Dude I was in a group game with had 3 in play and one more in library. He pretty much got to play unmolested until the guy playing green got near death....at which point he played tranquility and conceded. 5.

"Noncreature permanent?" And planeswalkers aren't creatures? How very interesting. Splashable too.

Realize you can hit your opponents creatures...ow

Have a EDH deck. Leyline of Anticipation is in play. I have several other enchantments on the board. Opponent decides to destroy all my enchantments. In response, I flash this in, and destroy their land base. WON'T DO THAT AGAIN, WILL YOU?!?!

I love getting this out. It instantly becomes a target for some reason, but if someone blows it up, it allows me to pick off something that may be a threat. This is basically a non-creature removal spell

@Gabriel422 It doesn't even have to trigger to be useful. By putting this on the table, you've threatened your opponent to not destroy your non-creature permanents, which may change the way your opponent plays his or her hand. This is a very important effect for many decks.

IMO, Karmic Justice is indispensable in a Voltron Commander deck. For the bargain price of 3 mana, it turns your opponents' artifact/enchantment removal into a lost cause. Even removing Karmic Justice itself makes them feel the pain. Recurrable with Sun Titan too.

5/5

Also, the art is AMAZING.

Unfortunately, this won't trigger off of losing an aura when a creature is targeted and destroyed, as the aura is put into the graveyard by a state-based-action, and is not technically destroyed by the effect which destroyed the creature it was attached to and caused that state-based-action to put it into the graveyard. If it did, my Voltron deck would be even happier to have this. As is, it is still great protection for running enchantment-based removal such as Arrest and Oblivion Ring (even more unfortunate, you won't be able to target what you exiled with O-Ring with Karmic Justice...). Further, this is fantastic protection when you have a Greater Auramancy + Sterling Grove shield on the board, Karmic Justice protects against your opponents answering with a Planar Cleansing. A reprint would be nice. Perhaps a future Commander set will have an enchantment theme and could include this in its list.

My EDH playgroup has taken to destroying my lands. Throwing this in my Oloro, Ageless Ascetic deck. Let's see how that goes.
