Read it as an instant. MUCH better as an enchantment.

Not a bad SB card for Burn.

This card is a steal at 1W. Pick up multiple copies!

This card is amazing. For only 1W? That's a crazy unfair advantage to white decks! Ha! Kill the red decks... Also helps against black decks if you have Pariah or Pariah's Shield on a creature.

So, in the case of Soul Snuffers adding -1/-1 counters to all creatures, would this prevent that effect from happening to your creatures? In other words, is putting a -1/-1 counter on a creature considered "damage"?
There are now five "Mark of" cards. One for each color.

before M10: hey cool, I don't have to worry about volcanic fallout, firespout, pyroclasm, pingers, etc. after M10: hey cool, I don't have to worry about all that stuff from before, and now a serious threat that can wipe all of my guys, like EARTHQUAKE, is now a dud! great sideboard

To answer a question very late, no, gSe7eN, putting a -1/-1 counter on something is not damage. All that does is lower a creature's toughness, which is not the same thing as taking damage.

something that gives -1/-1 until the end of turn is not considered damage, nor is an effect that applies -1/-1 counters to a creature. The only exception to this is Wither, as the creatures combat damage is converted to -1/-1 counters after the damage has been dealt. that doesn't really help with Mark of Asylum though.

At first I didn't see that it was an enchantment. Now I see how good this is with cards like Pyrohemia.

Combo with Dolmen Gate to have creatures that are only vulnerable when defending.

I got a foil one in a booster. It is the prettiest card I own.

I play a red-white-control deck with Kor Firewalker and a lot of red mass damage like Inferno. This would fit perfectly.
Perfect for those opponents that just love killing your creatures by damaging them

Did Wizards just print a Magebane Armor that protects your entire side of the board!?

Being a burn player, I suddenly realized just how demonic this card is. In fact, I think I'll take some time off, go hunt down every copy, and burn it. Just for the irony.
3/5 Not a staple, but sideboard-worthy for any protection and/or soldier. deck.
Could be fun with Blasphemous Act in an extended format. Summon a small horde of spirits or whatnot and then blow up their field to swing in for completely unblocked damage.

Beautiful art, and very good sideboard tech if aggro/burn is giving you problems, especially since the color you're hosing (Red) doesn't have good enchantment removal.
