Remember: Always Use Protection!

Spellfire card or WWI German medal? You decide.

Amulet of Spell Protection (Artifacts chase, 17/20) is a great magic item that's found its way into my best deck. Not only does it give a nifty +5 bonus and make its attached champion immune to pesky offensive spells like Death Spell, Mindslayer, Takhisis's Abyssal Gateway, and Mindshatter, but it also can be discarded to cancel the effects of any spell.

Now discarding this card would have to be a last resort. It's just too good to toss away haphazardly to cancel any old spell. But let's imagine your opponent decides to Wish away your Living Wall or (even worse) your Caer Allison. You need that Wish stopped, but are out of counters. Or you have a counter, but no spellcasting champion. Amulet of Spell Protection to the rescue!

Mind you, the main power of the Amulet - making the attached champion immune to offensive spells - is good enough to make this a must-have card all by itself. The +5 and the discard ability are just the icing on this primo cake.

Tomorrow: Is this place haunted?
