It's a great lock card, but Moat/Magus of the Moat is/are better.

I run this in my Enchantment/Pegasus deck. I'm not replacing this gem till I get a Moat.

An interesting card flavor-wise, I would as.sociate this card more with blue than white...It does provide some protection for some decks...

Fun wording on this version. Creatures without flying or islandwalk can't damage you. A natural combo with Orcish Artillery.

Good call on the Orcish Artillery. Also, Moat and Magus of the Moat restrict your own ground pounders too, this does not.

If you need time to cast the spells in your hand, it's a nice card. However, if yoou don't have anything to play, stalling out will just result in giving your opponent time to find an answer. Unless you have a card like Honden of Seeing Winds, in which case you can just stall out forever until you find that Wrath effect, then start drawing more answers for anything your opponent drops. Strong.

Current Oracle wording says "can't attack you," so for the Orcish Artillery combo to work you'll also need R&D's Secret Lair.

Bob loved to get away from the rat race to his island sanctuary for a few days, relax on the beach and do a little fishing. Unfortunately he made the mistake of riding a Pegasus over from the mainland, which promptly flew off and left him stranded with a dwindling beer supply.
