About Shadowbane

Shadowbane, Instant, designed by Douglas Shuler first released in Oct, 1996 in the set Mirage. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.15.

This card, Shadowbane, would be beneficial in a white weenie or aggro deck that aims to protect its creatures and gain life against aggressive black decks. While it offers a situational advantage against black sources, there are more versatile options like Apostle's Blessing or Gods Willing that provide protection against any color source of damage, making them better choices in most scenarios. Shadowbane could see play in specific metas where black damage is prevalent, but overall, its limited scope may make it less desirable in most deck builds.
