Fog Bank: The Unbreakable Mist
Fog Bank is a compact defensive tool that earns its place in any blue control shell. The card name signals its role immediately: a wall that floats out of the fog and refuses to be punched through. With Fog Bank on the board you get Defender and Flying combined with the rare static prevention that stops all combat damage both to and from the creature. That interaction makes it an ideal chump blocker against ground or air threats and a reliable stall piece while you advance your game plan.
In practice Fog Bank buys turns and shapes combat math without asking for a large investment. Casting it for {1}{U} fits most early turns and it dovetails with bounce spells and tempo plays. The card text is concise and exact: it does not trade damage in the usual way. Use Fog Bank to protect key permanents, to blunt an early rush, or to buy time for your late game. Its modest presence reads like a tactical statement more than a spectacle.
