This card would be beneficial in a Dinosaur tribal deck in Magic: the Gathering, where protecting your other Dinosaur creatures from damage is crucial for maintaining board presence and synergy. While Temple Altisaur offers some protection, there are potentially better options like Boros Charm or Heroic Intervention that provide more versatile protection for all your creatures. However, Temple Altisaur could still see play in specific Dinosaur-focused decks looking for additional protection options.

Rules

01/19/18

Combat damage can be assigned to other Dinosaurs you control as normal, but most of that damage will be prevented. For example, if a 3/3 Dinosaur you control blocks a 5/5 creature with trample, the attacking player may assign 2 of that creature’s combat damage to the player or planeswalker it’s attacking and Temple Altisaur will prevent 2 of the 3 damage assigned to the defending Dinosaur.

01/19/18

The effects of two Temple Altisaurs won’t reduce the damage from one source below 1 damage.
