Very versitile. Make a creature unblokable for a turn if you are against a mono color deck. Stop a creature from taking lethal combat damage, dodge targeted: destroy effects, weaken effects, control effects as well as targeted activated abilitys. Plus draw a card.

I wouldn't mind this getting reprinted. Elegant, useful, cantrip.

Hey now she's pretty cute.
She kind of reminds me of Cartographer for some reason.

Fairly good effect as well; your fatty of choice is pro-color your opponent is playing for a turn, and a cantrip to boot.

One of the most elegant, most versatile and most powerful white cards in the game, and it's strictly better than lots of other blue and white cards! :) Most of the time you'll counter spells and abilities targeting your key creatures, but you can also make creatures unblockable or have them block other creatures without taking damage.. Unfortunately, you can't destroy auras enchanting enemy creatures because it says "creature you control", but it has enough uses already! :)

Quite possibly my favorite card ever printed.

It's a counterspell for stuff targeting your creatures. It can win a game by letting something get through unblocked. It removes pacifisms and other harmful auras. It can save one of your creatures from your own board-clearing spells. It has a really hot chick with nice legs. And on top of all that...it replaces itself!

What else could you ask for, really? 4.5/5

The only reason this card is very good is because it cantrips. 4.5/5 for being versitile AND replenishing itself.

Great versatity it can be used to:

1. Save a creature that was going to die due to blocking in combat (Your Serra Angel blocks Glissa, The Traitor...before damage you give your angel protection from {B})
2. Protect your creature from damage-based removal (things like Lightning Bolt)
3. Make any one creature unblockable or at least less blockable (playing against a {G} deck? Give it protection from {G})

All that and it replaces itself with a new card.

This and Apostle's Blessing are on the same tier for me. This is better, though, since it replaces itself (even though Apostle's Blessing can give protection from artifacts and can be used in any deck).

Regrettably, despite the card art, it can't give protection from pants.

Good strategists seize opportunities.
Great strategists make their own.


Does that make her a bad strategist?
Because judging from the image, she wasn't able to make an opportunity yet to put on any pants.
But maybe she simply did not want to.
Maybe it's even part of her plan.

Maybe she is in fact a genious master strategist, using her pantlessness to make opportunities for herself and others
by distracting the opponent this way, who keeps her (rear) in focus even though she has a cast a protection shield, while her (unprotected) allies can use their opportunity to rush through and ambush the opponent.

I conclude:

Good strategists seize opportunities.
Great strategists make their own.
Gorgeous strategists wear no pants.
