Obsidian Acolyte (card #22/350) from the Invasion set is a common white creature in Magic: The Gathering with the subtype Human Cleric, costing {1}{W} to cast. With a modest 1/1 power and toughness, its primary ability allows it to grant protection from black to any target creature until end of turn by paying {W}. This effect makes it a flexible defensive tool in white-based decks, particularly useful for shielding key creatures from black spells and abilities.
Illustrated by Matthew D. Wilson, the card’s flavor text — “The truthful will stand in the gaze of death and escape unharmed.” — Obsidian acolyte creed — reinforces its thematic role as a spiritual guardian against dark forces. While not a combat threat itself, Obsidian Acolyte serves as a utility creature that enhances survivability in matchups involving black removal or aggression.
Though rarely seen in competitive play due to its narrow effect and low stats, Obsidian Acolyte holds nostalgic value for players who appreciate the design aesthetics and flavor of the early 2000s Invasion block. It remains a minor staple in casual decks focused on protection themes or Cleric tribal synergies, offering a simple yet effective form of targeted defense.
