Teferi's Honor Guard enters tapped and gives all your creatures protection from instants until your next turn — a blanket combat trick that blanks removal and blocks during your attack step. The cost is a 2/2 body for three mana that does nothing the turn it arrives.

Commander is the only format where Teferi's Honor Guard is worth discussing. The ability to protect an entire board from instant-speed removal on your turn matters most in multiplayer, where opponents hold up Swords to Plowshares and Path to Exile waiting for you to swing. In Legacy and Vintage it's legally playable but never played — three mana for a delayed, turn-limited protection effect doesn't compete in those formats. Outside Commander, treat it as not in the conversation.

Price Context
Current price
$0.08 bulk tier
At $0.08, Teferi's Honor Guard is deep bulk — buy a playset for less than a dollar. Bulk commons and uncommons at this price point don't appreciate, so grab it for the effect, not the spec.
