I thought harms way was good, but brave the elements is even better.

As people have mentioned, this does NOT protect your creatures from non-targeted spells. Spells that do damage to all creatures, or all creatures you control (ie. Wrath of God or Infest) are unaffected; however, anything that specifies target creature/s (ie. Lightning Bolt or Fireball) is nullified.

As if white weenie isn't already very strong right now, this card brings it up even higher. In so many games with my friends they've felt comfortable that they could live another turn with their defenders and the board as it is. Throw down a Brave the Elements and swing in for the win. It's also nice for saving my pretty Armored Ascension creatures from the reaper.

i completely agree with everyone here. great white 1 cast. probably honestly one of the best overrun abilities in the game, goes great with standard white allies. my girlfriend has a question, and i don't have a proper way to explain it. she wants to know exactly why protection doesn't allow creatures without flying to block dudes with flying. if you can explain it in words that are not "uh....well....it just doesn't" please respond!

combat trick, stops removal, and sets up for the alpha strike for W. I'm for it!

One of the most versatile spells in recent memory, and one that any self respecting mono-white deck should be running four of. A single white mana to either save one or more of your creatures or give you a nearly unblockable attack. White continues it's reign of awesome.

1CMC should no have this huge effect, screw lightning bolt, giving all your creatures protection for 1 measly CMC, must be a misprint or some other kind of mistake, they cannot have playtested this at WotC and thought "this is a fair effect for 1CMC", unless it was the same guy that made gameslayer angel that made this. And it's uncommon, so they cannot even make the pathetic "mythic makes broken fair" argument with this one. Shame on you wizards. 1 CMC should never make your entire army nearly invulnerable and nearly unblockable. If this became the standard at 1CMC, then what would you get for 2CMC? All your creatures get first strike, flying and life link?

Does BtE protect against cards like Infest?
