About Dark Sphere
Dark Sphere, Artifact, designed by Mark Tedin first released in Aug, 1994 in the set The Dark. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1497.99.
Dark Sphere could be beneficial in a deck focused on controlling damage and prolonging the game, such as a defensive or control-oriented deck. However, there are potentially better options available, such as cards that provide consistent and reliable damage prevention or life gain. Whether Dark Sphere should see play would depend on the specific strategy and synergy within the deck, as well as the current metagame and available card pool.
Rules
04/15/13
If two or more of these effects would apply, you apply them sequentially. So if the source would deal 5 damage after two of these abilities have resolved, the first one prevents 2 damage, reducing it to 3 damage, then the second one prevents a further 1 damage, reducing the total damage dealt to 2.
