Oracle Text
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature has protection from black. This effect doesn't remove this Aura.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Black Ward is a classic white aura that turns one creature into a black-proof bulwark, and in gameplay that usually means supporting a tempo or control plan by blanking a key removal suite while keeping pressure on the board. Because the ward-like protection doesn’t fall off the enchantment, it’s especially useful on a creature you intend to keep attacking or defending with over several turns, such as a sturdy evasive threat or an important utility creature. The best homes are decks that can leverage a single protected attacker to push through black blockers, or midrange shells that want to insulate a value engine from Doom Blade-style interaction. A strong deckbuilding tip is to pair it with effects that reward sticking one creature, like equipment, pump auras, or exalted-style play patterns, since protecting a single body makes those investments much safer. Thematically, it feels like a plain but determined blessing, a light warding off darkness without overcomplicating the fight.
