Not really. This only stops combat damage, while Urza's can prevent any source of damage (ex from abilities). The only benefit to this card is the +1/+0 pump.

So much better than Urza's Armor.

Edit: Wow, you're right. Missed that completely. I rescind my previous statement.

I was expecting more comments here. This thing stops tokens in their tracks and can even give a boost to yours. If combo'ed with the right cards - the damage that this card saves can add up!

Underrated to say the least. If your deck wins with creatures, you should consider running this. This damage prevention certainly adds up, and although +1/+0 may not seem like much, that's 8 additional damage in two attacks if you're swinging with 4 creatures!

WOW... This is the first art by Kaja Foglio since Tempest and Unglued... Completely different from the cartoony art that she used to draw... I wonder why she returned for this card only, and then disappeared again...

However, I like very much this card, feels a little RedWhite... I think it deserves more attention...

4/5

Is indeed great. I love how they designed it so that you can't get both abilities at once. Things like that add another level of strategy to the game.

Costing half as much mana as urza's armor is a pretty great benefit too :v
