About Martyrdom

Martyrdom, Instant, designed by Mark Poole first released in Jun, 1996 in the set Alliances and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.32.

This card would benefit a deck focused on protecting key creatures or planeswalkers, especially in a white-based control or midrange strategy. While Martyrdom can be useful in certain situations, there are potentially better options like Mother of Runes or Giver of Runes which provide similar protection abilities more consistently. Whether Martyrdom sees play would depend on the specific deck and meta, but it could be a situational inclusion for decks looking for additional protection options.

Rules

Can be used to redirect damage from that creature to itself. This has no particularly useful effect.

10/04/04

If the target stops being a creature, you can’t redirect damage to it until/unless it becomes a creature again.
