Sphere of Safety

Description

Sphere of Safety is an Uncommon white Enchantment card from the 2016 Magic: The Gathering Commander (C16) release, designated as card number 77. Designed as a powerful defensive tool, this card requires a mana cost of {4}{W} and has a mana value of 5. As an Enchantment, it sits on the battlefield to alter the flow of combat, making it a staple for players looking to fortify their defenses against aggressive strategies. The card’s primary effect creates a significant deterrent for opponents. Creatures cannot attack you or the planeswalkers you control unless their controller pays {X} for each of those creatures, where X is equal to the number of enchantments you control. This scaling mechanic rewards players who have built up their board presence with other enchantments, effectively creating a wall that becomes increasingly expensive for enemies to breach. The design encourages strategic gameplay, forcing opponents to weigh the cost of aggression against the resources required to bypass your defenses. Created by artist Slawomir Maniak, this card is part of the broader Magic: The Gathering trading card game ecosystem, specifically tailored for the Commander format where multiplayer dynamics and long-game strategies are paramount. The flavor text, referencing the Rakdos and their belief that all are eager to join their revels even when told otherwise, adds a layer of narrative depth to the card’s defensive nature. Whether you are building a mono-white deck or incorporating it into a multi-color strategy, this card offers a distinct mechanical identity within the Commander set.
