Witchbane Orbprotection$0.38Gives you hexproof, directly overlapping with the main protection function of Orbs of Warding, while also hosing targeted burn and discard. It lacks the global damage prevention, but is a very close defensive analogue.Aegis of the Godsprotection$1.17Provides the same hexproof-for-you effect in a much cheaper body, making it a very efficient replacement for the anti-targeting portion. It does not reduce combat damage, but it fills the same protection role.Leyline of Sanctityprotection$0.98A classic white source of player hexproof that protects you from targeted spells and abilities, including many burn and disruption effects. It trades the artifact frame and damage prevention for a stronger, cheaper lock piece if in your opening hand.Ivory Maskprotection$0.59Another enchantment that gives you hexproof, closely matching Orbs of Warding’s first ability. It is slightly cheaper and is often used as a direct budget-friendly substitute for anti-targeting protection.Solitary Confinementprotection$0.47Not hexproof, but it serves a similar defensive purpose by preventing most damage to you and blanking many attack-based plans. It is stronger in some lock shells, though it requires upkeep card draw to sustain.Nine Livesprotection$1.34A prevention-based protection piece that can drastically reduce damage to you, functioning similarly to the anti-combat half of Orbs of Warding. It is more situational and fragile, but occupies a comparable defensive slot.Propagandaprotection$3.26Both cards discourage creature-based damage to you by making attacks inefficient, though Propaganda does it through taxation rather than prevention. It is a staple defensive alternative in blue for slowing down combat damage.Ghostly Prisonprotection$6.46Like Orbs of Warding, it helps protect your life total from creature damage, but by taxing attacks instead of preventing damage. It is a strong, widely played defensive enchantment in white.
