I don't like this that much. Because, first you must have a creature worth saving (instead of adding another creature instead of this card to your deck). And then it must be destroyed by damage or a "destroy" effect. If it's exiled, constantly tapped, stolen, bounced, pacified, having it's toughness reach 0, shuffled back in it's library etcetc... Withstand Death doesn't help against any of these effects. Vines of Vastwood is clearly better. Though best are cards giving your stuff protection.
0.5/5

"On Mirrodin, every conflict ends in either death or darksteel... or infect."
Can be okay in limited if you have absolutely nothing better.
3/5.

So any 'destroy' ability/spell will not effect this card's target. Like Wrath of God cannot 'destroy' this card's target creature. Hmm ...

Also known as: Darksteel Middle Finger.

With such skill in shaping darksteel, you'd think they'd have devised a means to tear it apart by now.
