{"product_id":"island-sanctuary","title":"Island Sanctuary (Repaint)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIllustrated by beloved Power 9 artist Mark Poole, \u003cem\u003eIsland Sanctuary\u003c\/em\u003e is a 2-mana white enchantment, first printed in \u003cem\u003eAlpha\u003c\/em\u003e (1993). It’s a classic control tool used to stall combat-based decks and was featured in early defensive white strategies. Instead of drawing a card during your draw step, you may instead skip that draw and until your next turn, only creatures with flying or islandwalk can attack you. It locked out non-flying attackers entirely if you could afford to skip draws. Its unique design made it one of the first “trade-off” control enchantments in Magic, giving up card draw for safety. \u003cem\u003eIsland Sanctuary\u003c\/em\u003e saw consistent play in early Type 1 and Type 2 white-blue control decks. Combined with cards like \u003cem\u003eHowling Mine\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eWrath of God\u003c\/em\u003e, it formed one of the first true control lockouts in Magic history. Since Howling Mine gives you extra draws outside of your draw step, you can skip your normal draw to activate \u003cem\u003eIsland Sanctuary\u003c\/em\u003e, but still get cards from \u003cem\u003eHowling Mine\u003c\/em\u003e. This card remains a strong example of white’s early identity in board control and tempo denial. \u003cem\u003eIsland Sanctuary\u003c\/em\u003e is on the Reserved List.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"artwhirled","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44762039353389,"sku":null,"price":0.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/8000\/6957\/files\/Island_Sanctuary_Repaint_Alpha_front_a_white.jpg?v=1775127671","url":"https:\/\/artwhirled.com\/products\/island-sanctuary","provider":"Art Whirled","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
