Ghostly Prison
Oracle Text
Creatures can't attack you unless their controller pays {2} for each creature they control that's attacking you.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Ghostly Prison is a classic white control and pillowfort piece that buys time by taxing every would-be attacker, forcing opponents to pay {2} for each creature they send at you. In practice, that makes it excellent in slow value decks, token strategies, and commander builds that want to discourage chip damage while setting up a stronger late game. It pairs especially well with board wipes and enchantment-based engines: after a sweeper, opponents are often reluctant to rebuild into a prison they can’t easily pay through. Deckbuilding-wise, it shines alongside other deterrents like Sphere of Safety, Propaganda in blue-white shells, or token makers such as Secure the Wastes that let you win while staying behind a wall. The card doesn’t stop attacks elsewhere, so smart play means redirecting pressure with politics or lifelink blockers while Ghostly Prison quietly drains your opponents’ tempo and resources.
