Pointed Discussion

An interesting prevention spell, especially with the delayed activation.

Like Earthbind, how is this obscene???

This, Earthbind & Vitalizing Cascade finish the trio.

It would be nice if Wizards printed more cards like this.

The obscenities keep Magic from becoming childish, though they are excessive at times. Setting any kind of restrictions on artists is not something I imagine they appreciate, either.

Can't forget essence vortex.

I would've liked to see an enchantment version of this is Time Spiral.

It's not obscene. People who think every inch the body needs to be covered are obscene- making any normal, natural thing inaccessible leads to fetishizing it, which is unhealthy.

Mechanically, a so-so card. It's like Alabaster Potion, but it also puts a Circle of Protection: Whatever You Want into play until end of turn. Could be useful with cards that damage all players, but dealing damage to the other guy is still more efficient than preventing it.

Should be an Angel Tribal instant.

What a waste of the name. Aegis Angel weeps.

It takes a ton of mana but it does what it says on the can, and it fits the colour nicely. The art is a bit wonky. The pose is very awkward I find.

It's pretty unique in that the effect continues for the rest of the turn.
