Ultimate Magic: Holy

Instant2 generic manaWhite mana

A team-wide indestructible instant is nothing new; the wrinkle here is that where you cast it from decides whether it's a combat trick or a life-total lock. Cast from hand, it's a clean board protector against a sweeper or an alpha strike, keeping your permanents alive through a wrath or a mass removal spell. Cast from exile via foretell, it also prevents all damage to you for the turn, folding a Fog into the package. That conditional rider is what gives the card its rhythm: the choice to foretell is made in hand, and paying two to hide it face down a turn early is the commitment to the fuller insurance mode. The reward is that a single card both saves your permanents from destruction and saves your face from a burn or combat kill in one window. Foretell does double duty as concealment and as a payment schedule, since an opponent who watched you exile a card has to play around the possibility that it's this one without knowing for sure. The design also draws a careful line between its two protections: indestructible answers wraths and targeted destruction, while the damage-prevention clause covers what indestructibility misses (though loss-of-life effects slip past both, since prevention only touches damage). The two-turn setup is the tax you pay for the option to hold the bigger version in reserve rather than tipping your hand the moment you need it.
