Fortifying Provisionsprotection$0.12This is a direct damage-reduction effect that can blunt repeated chip damage from spells while also providing an additional life buffer through the Food token. It plays a similar defensive role in white-based lifegain or pillow-fort shells.Gideon's Sacrificeprotection$0.14It protects a player or key creature from damage for a turn, which is similar in spirit to reducing damage from spells. While narrower and temporary, it can prevent a large spell-based damage burst.Kami of Ancient Lawutility$0.14This is not a damage reducer, but it serves a similar white utility-creature role in low-cost defensive decks by providing efficient board presence and incidental disruption. It fits the same cheap white creature slot in many casual builds.Selfless Spiritprotection$1.24A cheap white creature that protects your board from sweepers and damage-based combat blowouts. It fills a similar small-creature defensive role, though it protects by sacrifice rather than reducing damage.Holy Dayprotection$0.32This is a classic white prevention spell that stops damage for a turn, similar to Benevolent Unicorn’s anti-damage function. It is more temporary, but often stronger in combat or burn turns.Prismatic Strandsprotection$2.30It prevents damage from a chosen color for a turn, which can completely blank many spell-based damage sources. It is a stronger but less universal cousin to gradual damage reduction.Circle of Protection: Redprotection$0.18This repeatedly prevents red damage, which overlaps with the Unicorn’s anti-burn purpose against many spell decks. It is more specialized but can be much more powerful in the right matchup.Aegis of the Godsprotection$1.17A cheap white protection creature that helps shield you from targeted spell strategies, even if it does not reduce damage directly. It occupies a similar small defensive white body slot.
