About Sustaining Spirit

Sustaining Spirit, Creature — angel spirit, designed by Rebecca Guay 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 9.49. It's a key card in 1 combos.

This card, Sustaining Spirit, would be beneficial in a defensive or control-oriented white deck in Magic: the Gathering, providing a safeguard against damage that would otherwise bring your life total below 1. However, there are potentially better options available, such as cards that offer more versatile protection or additional strategic advantages, like Giver of Runes or Mother of Runes. Whether Sustaining Spirit sees play would depend on the specific strategy and synergies of the deck it's included in.

Rules

10/01/08

Sustaining Spirit won’t prevent you from losing the game if your life total is 0 or less or some other effect causes you to lose the game.

10/01/08

The second ability applies only if your life total is being reduced by damage. Other effects or costs (such as “lose 1 life” or “pay 1 life”) can reduce your life total below 1 as normal.

10/01/08

The second ability is not a prevention effect. It stops unpreventable damage from reducing your life total below 1.

10/04/04

Does not affect damage if you are already at zero or negative life. You still take it all.
