About Encircling Fissure

Encircling Fissure, Instant, designed by Igor Kieryluk first released in May, 2020 in the set Battle for Zendikar and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.

This card, Encircling Fissure, would be beneficial in a control or tempo-oriented white deck looking to stall the opponent's attacks and buy time to set up their own win condition. While it can be useful in certain situations, there are potentially better options available such as Settle the Wreckage or Teferi's Protection for more versatile protection against combat damage. Whether Encircling Fissure should see play would depend on the specific strategy and meta of the deck, as it may be more situational compared to other options.

Rules

08/25/15

Awaken doesn’t give the land you control a color. As most lands are colorless, in most cases the resulting land creature will also be colorless.

08/25/15

Encircling Fissure prevents all combat damage that would be dealt by any creature controlled by the target opponent, even if that creature wasn’t on the battlefield or wasn’t a creature as Encircling Fissure resolved.

08/25/15

If the non-awaken part of the spell doesn’t require a target and you cast the spell for its awaken cost, then the spell won’t resolve if the target land you control becomes illegal before the spell resolves (such as due to being destroyed in response to the spell being cast).

08/25/15

If the non-awaken part of the spell requires a target, you must choose a legal target. You can’t cast the spell if you can’t choose a legal target for each instance of the word “target” (though you only need a legal target for the awaken ability if you’re casting the spell for its awaken cost).
