What it does

If you would draw a card during your draw step, instead you may skip that draw. If you do, until your next turn, you can't be attacked except by creatures with flying and/or islandwalk.

Combos with Island Sanctuary

Rulings

3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2004-10-04

    Since the draw is replaced, you can't use the same draw to do other things.

  • 2004-10-04

    If you get multiple draws or you use a spell or ability during the draw step to draw extra cards, you can have the replacement effect apply to any one or all of those. You need only have it apply once to get the effect. If you skip more than one, there is no additional effect.

  • 2004-10-04

    If the replacement effect is applied, the effect will continue until your next turn even if this card leaves the battlefield.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Island Sanctuary

13 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly. A printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Island Sanctuary. It runs a name search across every version, which covers the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only. No individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
