Description
Sunfire Balm, card number 56 in the 2002 Onslaught expansion, is a white Instant from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed by Monte Michael Moore, this Uncommon card offers players a reliable defensive option with a mana cost of {2}{W}. Its primary effect allows the controller to prevent the next 4 damage that would be dealt to any target for the turn, providing crucial survival in aggressive matches. Beyond its initial protective capability, Sunfire Balm features the Cycling ability for {1}{W}, allowing players to discard the card to draw a new one. Cycling adds strategic depth, as discarding the card also triggers an additional effect: you may prevent the next 1 damage dealt to any target this turn. This dual-layer utility makes the card a flexible tool for both defense and card advantage. Whether you are building a nostalgic deck or seeking to complete the Onslaught set, this card remains a significant piece of Magic history.
