Magebane Armor

The prevention clause is what gives this Equipment its name, and it answers a narrow but real threat: a creature wearing it cannot be Lightning Bolted, cannot be picked off by a stray ping, cannot be killed by any noncombat damage. The +2/+4 is the bribe that gets you to play it, fattening a body into something that survives most combat math, but the lose-flying clause is the tax that keeps the package from being a default upgrade. Strip evade from your attacker and you have traded reach for resilience, which means the Equipment wants a creature that was already happy on the ground. The shape is deliberately lopsided: damage prevention that does nothing against destroy, exile, sacrifice, or -X/-X effects, paired with a stat boost that helps in exactly the combat it forces you into. It reads as a sideboard-style answer welded onto a body buff, an early-era attempt to bottle hexproof-from-burn before that kind of protection got cheaper and cleaner. What it really protects against is a specific opposing plan (a deck built to point cheap noncombat damage at your threats); against anything else, the prevention line is dead weight you paid three mana and an equip cost to carry.
