Sephara, Sky's Blade

Legendary Creature — Angel

Sephara wants a deck that makes attacking it too costly, so opponents fight each other. It also works in a deck built around Angels.

  • Mana cost4 genericwhitewhitewhite
  • White ()
  • Power / toughness7 / 7
  • RarityRare

You may pay white and tap four untapped creatures you control with flying rather than pay this spell's mana cost.

Flying, lifelink

Other creatures you control with flying have indestructible. (Damage and effects that say "destroy" don't destroy them.)

Wizards of the Coast 12 Jul 2019

Because damage remains marked on a creature until it's removed as the turn ends, lethal damage dealt to other creatures you control with flying may cause them to be destroyed if Sephara leaves the battlefield during that turn.

Wizards of the Coast 12 Jul 2019

To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying (such as Sephara's alternative cost), add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

Wizards of the Coast 12 Jul 2019

To pay Sephara's alternative cost, you may tap any untapped creatures you control with flying, including ones you haven't controlled continuously since the beginning of your most recent turn.
