About Withstand
Withstand, Instant, designed by Ron Spears first released in Feb, 2006 in the set Guildpact.
This card, Withstand, would be beneficial in a control or defensive white deck in Magic: the Gathering, providing a way to prevent damage and draw a card for just 3 mana. While it offers some utility, there are potentially better options like Healing Grace which also prevents damage and gains life, or Revitalize which gains life and draws a card immediately. Withstand could see play in specific situations where preventing damage is crucial, but overall it may not be a top choice for competitive decks.
Rules
02/01/06
You draw a card when Withstand resolves, not when damage is prevented.
