Stave Off⁣ - Magic 2012⁣ (Common)⁣ [36]

Stave Off grants target creature protection from the colour of your choice until the end of turn, allowing it to dodge removal spells or blockers of that colour. This instant can be a game-changer during combat, providing a way to ensure your creature gets through or survives an opponent's spell. It's useful in white-based decks that rely on combat tricks or protecting key threats.
