About Providence

Providence, Sorcery, designed by Zack Stella first released in Jul, 2016 in the set Eldritch Moon Promos and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.72.

This card, Providence, would benefit a control or midrange white deck that aims to stabilize the board early on and gain a significant life advantage. While the effect of setting your life total to 26 can be impactful in certain situations, it may not be the most efficient use of mana in a competitive setting. Cards like Baneslayer Angel or Sphinx's Revelation might provide better value in terms of board impact and card advantage, making them more viable options for deck building. Overall, Providence may not see much play in competitive Magic: the Gathering decks due to its high mana cost and limited impact compared to other available options.

Rules

03/19/21

A player’s “opening hand” is the hand of cards the player has after all players have taken mulligans. If players have any cards in hand that allow actions to be taken with them from a player’s opening hand, the starting player takes all such actions first in any order, followed by each other player in turn order. Then the first turn begins.

07/13/16

For a player’s life total to become 26, the player gains or loses the appropriate amount of life. For example, if your life total is 4 when Providence resolves, it will cause you to gain 22 life; alternatively, if your life total is 40 when it resolves, it will cause you to lose 14 life. Other cards that interact with life gain or life loss will interact with this effect accordingly.

07/13/16

In a Two-Headed Giant game, Providence causes the team’s life total to become 26, but only you actually gain or lose life. (Each team’s starting life total in a Two-Headed Giant game is normally 30.)
