I never thought about how good this card really is... Might have to bring it back one day...

It's definitely underrated, likely not that useful in block-constructed but possibly one of the most useful cards for a cleric tribal deck. And he does not have a weak body either, so this card is rather resistant to minor burn effects.

Man as soon as you slap this badboy down in a cleric deck, your opponent might as well scoop because its game over. This card frees up the clerics that you tied down (or should have) to be ready to use master apothecary. So slap it down, pro your doubtless one or scion of darkness with mother of runes , sac for Starlit sanctum for that last bit of life and GG.

In the right deck, this says "Prevent all damage that would be dealt to you."
I think it is cool.

Delicious fun in my cleric deck. It basically signals to everyone that they've lost. Not even 50,000,000 squirrels could defeat this card.

My friend has this card .. Let's just say there is few things that can kill it (other then kill spells)... I only have one way, it is currently in my exalted deck... Novablast wurm... It's sad that the wurm is the only way I can kill it -.-

This guy is the king of my tribal cleric deck. I've had four out before, and been able to prevent 80+ damage from any source. Plus, you can save your opponents in a multiplayer game if you really want to. Its fun to play god :)

@Nikeyeia: In the right deck, this says "Prevent all damage that would be dealt to you."
More like "Prevent all damage that would be dealt to you and your allies." Damn strong.
Guys, totally: this with any of the Phyrexian mana symbol cards. With her out, you automatically take only 1 damage. With another cleric, you can cast any of that for free. Immolating Souleater just became an infinity/1. And Moltensteel Dragon became a 4 drop, for a 4/4 with flying and infinite firebreathing.

@Khavrion, you seriously need to go back to magic school. Paying life is not the same as taking damage, it can't be prevented. I'm so glad I am not in your playgroup.
I love running this with Pestilence in EDH. Get to pick and choose which players take it and which don't. (There are a million ways to keep this creature safe from the pestilence, not going to bring them up here.) Also, slap a Followed Footsteps on this sucker, and every turn you can prevent more and more damage. Having a wall of clerics on the board that pretty much make you immune to damage, as well as the politics they allow in an EDH deck can be a lot of fun.

Achieves much in tribe of protection. It's usually enough if it can prevent 4-6 damage, so tokens aren't even necessary. Too bad black and red have overcome things like this with "loses life" and "can't be prevented". Still an easy 5.

Your setting yourself up to walk into a board sweep. Maybe play with and hold counter mana. Good in multiplayer if you have an ally with loads of counterspells.

even if this was only cleric in your deck, having four of them is amazing
1= 1prevented
2 = 4 prevented
3 = 9 prevented
4 = 16 prevented
And even so, its doubtful you'll have JUST them in your deck. And if your playing Blue and clone them!!!

It IS five mana, but in a Tribal Cleric deck it basically forces your opponent to kill any on the field to even begin to deal damage to you.
Never seem to see her in many cleric decks though, despite her obvious potential.
