About Shadowbane
Shadowbane, Instant, designed by Douglas Shuler first released in Oct, 1996 in the set Mirage. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 3.41.
Shadowbane could be beneficial in a white control deck that aims to prevent damage and gain life, especially against black-heavy decks. However, there are potentially better options like Healing Salve or Lone Missionary that provide similar effects or additional benefits. Shadowbane may not be a top-tier card but could still see play in certain niche strategies where its specific protection is valuable.
Rules

This only prevents damage the chosen source would deal to you or a creature you control. If the creature would deal damage to another player, a planeswalker, or a creature you don’t control, it does not get prevented.
