Bad version of Fog Bank

strictly better then tunnel

There are better walls, but not in black. Still, this isn't great, and other cards would help you win the game instead.

I usually find these getting trampled-over or Shocked to death. Wall of Souls is my alternative.

Goblin Digging Team has finally met its match.

And yet it still dies to Battering Ram.

I'm not saying that a wall's potential is determined largely by it's ability to withstand Battering Ram; just that with such a clause, a very specific tool like a battering ram would be exactly what it would resist.

can't complain about an almost invincible wall if you're going to turtle up

Wall of Shadows cannot block creatures with shadow.

:(

Wall of Shadows - the answer to the Tunnel deck!

Frodo?

My favorite Wall.

OK it doesn't block flying like fog bank, or survive Prodigal Sorcerer, but this cad is just a classic. It stops trample, which is why it's still relevant today. Standard wall casting cost, if relatively color intensive. I have 1 of each printing, and yes the chronicles printing does have the antiquities anvil instead of the Legends pillar.

I think that the part about not being effected by effects that only target walls is supposed to be a drawback because it can't be targeted by the glyph cycle in Legends. On the other hand, it is protected from tunnel, and can safely block battering ram from antiquities.

Here is the glyph cycle:
White: Glyph of Life
Blue: Glyph of Delusion
Black: Glyph of Doom
Red: Glyph of Destruction
Green: Glyph of Reincarnation

Great, old card that has, in my opinion, survived the test of time.

Salient: Wall of diffusion does the shadow blocking. (Shadow came out it Tempest)
