Akroma's Blessing

Description

Akroma's Blessing, card number 1 in the 2002 Magic: The Gathering Onslaught expansion, stands as a versatile white instant spell. Published in 2002, this foil card offers players a strategic tool for board control and resource management. With a mana cost of {2}{W} and a mana value of 3, it sits comfortably in the mid-game curve, providing immediate impact when played. The card’s primary effect allows the caster to choose a color, granting all creatures they control protection from that specific color until end of turn. This flexibility makes it a valuable defensive answer against a wide variety of threats. Additionally, the card features the Cycling ability for {W}, allowing players to discard it to draw a new card. This dual functionality ensures that even if the protection effect is not needed, the card can still provide card advantage, a key principle in Magic: The Gathering design. For collectors, the foil finish adds a distinct visual appeal to this uncommon rarity card. Whether you are building a deck around white creature strategies or simply appreciate the strategic depth of Onslaught-era mechanics, this card represents a solid piece of Magic: The Gathering history. Its enduring utility and iconic status make it a staple for enthusiasts of the format.
