Flare of Fortitude: Fortify Your Board, Fast

Flare of Fortitude is an instant that blends sacrifice and protection in white's toolkit. For {2}{W}{W}, you may sacrifice a nontoken white creature instead of paying this spell's mana cost, a clean tempo play that preserves your hand and your board. Until end of turn, your life total can't change, and permanents you control gain hexproof and indestructible. In practice, this means a potential swing in a single moment, keeping your defenses intact while you reset the pace of the game.

A little lore accompanies the card: "I call upon a power greater than myself." The effect is tactical but grounded in restraint, a reminder that fortitude sometimes comes from sacrifice as much as it does from fire. In Modern Horizons 3, Flare of Fortitude fits a patient, protection-driven approach, offering a reliable shield against wipe effects and a clear path to press your next step. Used at the right moment, it can stabilize a tense board and keep you aligned with your long game.
