Hanna's Custody puts a shroud counter on every artifact you control — and every artifact that enters afterward — for three mana, no upkeep, no ongoing cost. If your game plan leans on artifacts surviving removal, this is one of the most mana-efficient ways to blanket-protect them.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |

| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | not legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is the primary home for Hanna's Custody — in a multiplayer game where targeted removal is abundant and artifact-heavy decks are constant threat magnets, a one-time three-mana enchantment that shrouds your entire board is a strong investment. Legacy and Vintage are legal formats, but the powered card density and fast-win focus there leave little room for a three-mana defensive enchantment that doesn't advance your game plan. Oathbreaker is legal as well, and artifact-centric Oathbreaker shells benefit from the same reasoning as Commander — though the compressed game length means Hanna's Custody needs to land early to matter.

Budget Alternatives
Cheaper options that do most of the same work
Padeem, Consul of Innovation grants hexproof to your artifacts with the highest mana value and draws cards on top, though it requires blue and a creature slot rather than an enchantment. There is no true budget equivalent that matches Hanna's Custody's blanket, permanent, counter-based protection across all artifacts — most alternatives are either narrower, conditional, or creature-based and thus easier to remove.
Price Context
Current price
$6.65 mid tier
At $6.65, Hanna's Custody sits in the mid tier — not a casual impulse buy, but not a barrier for a focused artifact deck either. It's a Reserved List card with a narrow audience, which keeps both the supply and the demand stable rather than trending in either direction.
