Vow of Lightning — Strike and Steady
Vow of Lightning is a compact enchantment that turns a creature into a reliable front line. For three mana you give a creature plus two plus two and first strike. That combination lets a modest attacker become a credible blocker or a surprise combat threat while keeping your life total out of range of its aggression.
In play the restriction that the enchanted creature cannot attack you or planeswalkers you control changes how you position threats. It is effective on creatures you intend to leave in play as defenders or utility attackers against opponents. From a deck building perspective this card pairs well with creatures that benefit from striking but are not intended to directly pressure you. This listing is for a Near Mint, English printing from Commander Murders at Karlov Manor.
