Oracle Text

Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Vow of Lightning is a neat red twist on the “Vow” cycle, turning one creature into a sharper, faster threat while keeping it politically pointed away from you and your planeswalkers. In practice, it best supports tempo and midrange decks that want to suit up an evasive or resilient creature and pressure life totals without giving up defense. The +2/+2 boost and first strike make combat miserable for smaller blockers, and the attack restriction lets you safely enchant an opposing creature in multiplayer or even your own creature when you want a protected beater that can’t be turned against you. It also pairs well with red creatures that have menace or trample, since first strike helps force through damage. In decks with sacrifice outlets or bounce effects, you can reuse the aura’s tempo swing by moving it onto the best body each game.
