Delaying Shield

{3}{W}Enchantment

If damage would be dealt to you, put that many delay counters on this enchantment instead.

At the beginning of your upkeep, remove all delay counters from this enchantment. For each delay counter removed this way, you lose 1 life unless you pay {1}{W}.

Official rulings

  1. Note that the damage is replaced and is not “prevented”. This means it can replace damage that “can’t be prevented”. (2004-10-04)
