I don't use this personally, but I can definitely see how it'd be useful, particularly in a deck that relied on a few lynchpin creatures. Stop removal, countering (or at least, I think this should stop countering), on a key artifact, enchantment, or creature for one mana and 2 life? I'd say that's pretty darn good.

An incredibly versatile card. The addition of the word "Artifact" and the phyrexian white mana put this card over the top. I use it to protect my Rage Extractor. As far as instant speed protection spells go this is about as good as it gets. If you have not play-tested this card, you should. 5/5.

Colorless protection is nice, but White decks will really get the most use out of this card, especially if they have enough life gain to justify paying it phyrexian style.

Anyone else notice that he's hiding a tiny little guy under his cloak? At first I thought it was an orb, but then I realized it had hands.

ive got a question for anybody willing to answer. i put apostle's blessing in my infect deck and usually use it as a one turn kill with two titanic growths on something like cystbearer and make it so nothing can block it since it has protection from their color if they are playing a one color deck. now my question is what if a i give it protection from black, does that mean during attacking they couldn't tap royal assasin and kill it because i gave it protection from black...or can it still destroy it? or any other card with the same kind of ability like intrepid hero. let me know if you can help!

Because I want to play white even when I'm not playing white ;)
Very versatile, very powerful
Handy in many many deck archtypes. if you run creatures or artifacts (every deck almost?) this will save you more than you'd think.
EDIT: I bet this is ridiculous with Smokestack, Tangle Wire, winter orb, and similar.

3.5 stars is a definite under-rating for this card. For 1 and two life, counter doom blade lightning bolt, etc, or make your guy unblockable vs mono colour (or potentially make him unblockable AND counter doom blade, depending on the timing) or protect an artifact from destruction. This has a lot of flexibility in what it can do, and a lot of flexibility in when you can use it.

Perfect counter removal for my Mono Black deck. I love me some phrexian mana, messing up the color pie!
