Angel's Grace W
Instant
Split second (As long as this spell is on the stack, players can't play spells or activated abilities that aren't mana abilities.)
You can't lose the game this turn and your opponents can't win the game this turn. Until end of turn, damage that would reduce your life total to less than 1 reduces it to 1 instead.
...and just about everyone got a kick to the junk. Along with Orim's Chant and Abeyance, this gives white a fair chance against combo. If only Isochron Scepter wasn't so vulnerable...

I haven't still understood if that "splice second" means that it can't be countered too *_*
Since no one can play spells or abilities while it is on the stack it can't be countered.
insane cards then...overall the green disenchant with splice 2... bah, too strong ability
Doesn't do a damn thing vs. IGGy Pop. Loss of life (Tendrils of Agony) isn't prevented. Well, I suppose it does let you live half a turn, though.
Yeah but iggy pop now has another creature it has to deal with in order to win. The one with a W casting cost 1/1 Sac this critter to gain life equal to the life lost this turn. Could totally own IGGy pop if they don't bounce it.
This is not exactly true. It can't be countered with spells or activated abilities. Triggered abilities will still trigger though, so Counterbalance, for instance, can still counter it.
does this card getting printed make scepter chant a more viable deck? If so then what starting decklist base would you use?

Posting fake since the spoiler is completed is pure idiocy, isn't it?
Common Sense was reprinted as rare.
I'm confused. Are you saying this card is a fake? We're talking about Angel's Grace, right? http://magiccards.info/ts/en/3/ That one?
Hmm, sorry, I' blind.
How could I miss this card? It's unbielievable! Easily handles most of combo decks. (maybe except Solidarity, but additional turn is worth effort).
Common Sense was reprinted as rare.
Which combo decks are you talking about? It doesn't really handle Brain Freeze and Tendrils of Agony which are the most prevalent combo kill cards. All it does is to delay the inevitable.
IMHO pretty sucks...
Only keeps you alive until next turn.
You are right about Tendrils. The problem is that random other combo decks that might be stopped by this card suck already.
But against Solidarity... cast it at the beginning of your upkeep when library is empty and swing with all critters once more. Might be sueful.
Common Sense was reprinted as rare.
Having one in your hand forces solidarity to go off a turn sooner than they normally would. Unfortunately you have to play a fast clock for it to be effective, and even then it's horrible against every other deck.
Be my pupil on mybrute. It's fun. I swear.
Combine this card with 1/2 gaea's blessings, and it's be a real threat for solidarity.
I'm here to kick ass and play card games.

Now THIS one is actually useful against Tendrils.

Sacrifice Children of Korlis: You gain life equal to the life you've lost this turn. (Damage causes loss of life.)
1/1
You can wait until a few of the Tendrils copies hits and just about kills you then use it regaining quite a bit of life to survive the last ones. I like this one. It's an auto-include in type 1 fish decks if anything and may spawn some interesting Angel stompy varients also for Legacy.
I think I'm the most happiest about this one though. It's just plain useful

Return target permanent to its owner's hand.
Finally you can bounce something and they can't do stupid crap in response.
This card is trash. It does nothing to Brain Freeze (without Blessing backup) or Tendrils, and it doesn't even beat Salvagers (they burn you to 1, empty their mana pool with Salvager activations, then simply play out an LED and a Pyrite Spellbomb and kill you in your upkeep. Or wish for Maga/Orzhov Guildmage and life loss your ass into the ground).
Even with Blessings in your deck, it's also not really going to help against Tide if you give them enough time to generate the mana to Stroke you out. You won't lose this turn but you won't have a library and then you'll lose that way.
[s]This card beats NO combos that are any good.[/s] Actually I cannot think of any combos this beats unless you count Dark Ritual-Hatred as a combo. Maybe Pandeburst but again only if they have the absolute minimum combo (1 of each), otherwise they do the same thing Salvagers did above. Even Trix is life loss, and you would die on your own untap step anyway.
The Korliss Kids look a lot better - at least they make Tendrils go off for 40 or find a removal.
Well..for Solidarity:
You can't go off in response to lethal damage against decks which run this card.
You have to Brain Freeze exactly because you don't want your opponet to draw his whole library and give him a turn to use it.
