Item Condition
Magic: The Gathering single: Defense Grid, from Ninth Edition. Our grade: Lightly Played or better. Pictured: this printing of the card. Every card ships triple-sleeved — a soft sleeve, a deck sleeve and a rigid top loader.
Item Description
Nothing frustrates a blue mage like Defense Grid. This two-mana artifact has one line of text: each spell costs three more to cast except during its controller's turn. On your turn, every counterspell, instant-speed removal spell and surprise trick an opponent wants to cast suddenly costs three extra mana, which usually means it does not get cast at all.
That makes it a favorite tool for combo and big-spell decks that want to resolve their key play without interference. Land it the turn before you go off, and opponents sitting on Counterspell or a removal spell are forced to tap out or watch. It is symmetrical, so your own instants on other players' turns get taxed too, but decks that do their business on their own turn barely notice. In Commander it is a cheap colorless option for any deck that is tired of having its best spells countered. The flavor text captures the feeling: "It lights up the sky, beckoning enemies only to repel them."
This is the Ninth Edition printing, collector number 293, a rare illustrated by Mark Tedin in the classic white-bordered frame. Ninth Edition was the 2005 core set, from the era when core sets still wore white borders, and this version carries all the nostalgia of that period. The card first appeared in Urza's Legacy.
