Oracle Text
{2}: The next time an artifact source of your choice would deal damage to you this turn, prevent that damage.
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Circle of Protection: Artifacts is a classic Fourth Edition defensive tool that fits neatly into a control or slow-burn tempo plan, buying time against the many artifact-driven threats that define old-school Magic. For just {1}{W}, it sits on the battlefield and lets you spend {2} to blank the next chunk of damage from an artifact source, which is especially punishing for decks leaning on artifact creatures, tapped-ping engines, or repeated artifact combat damage. It shines when you expect a narrow but dangerous matchup: against aggressive artifact decks, it can neutralize a key attacker every turn, forcing the opponent to overcommit or switch plans. Deckbuilding-wise, it pairs well with other prevention and stall pieces, such as Enchantress-style card draw or white sweepers, since it helps you survive until your bigger cards take over. In lore terms, it feels like a white warding spell that seals off metal-born threats before they can break through.
