Description
Released in 1993 as part of the Unlimited Edition, Wall of Swords is a foundational white creature card in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Identified by card number 43 and set code 2ED, this uncommon card was illustrated by Mark Tedin. It functions as a 3/5 defender with the flying ability, allowing it to block flying creatures while remaining immobile itself. The card's mana cost of {3}{W} positions it as a mid-game defensive asset. The flavor text references the character Justina, adding narrative depth to this early white creature. As a staple of the original set, Wall of Swords remains a recognizable piece of Magic history for veteran players and new enthusiasts alike.

Just as the evil ones approached to slay Justina, she cast a great spell, imbuing her weapons with her own life force. Thus she fulfilled the prophecy: "In the death of your savior will you find salvation."
