Card Rulings
- September 15, 2013
If the creature is an illegal target as Pharika's Cure tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won't gain life. If, on the other hand, Pharika's Cure does resolve but the damage is prevented, you'll still gain life.

Price History
To study a single card is to glimpse the heart of a spell - a frozen moment of ambition, artistry, and arcane intent. Within each glyph lies a spark: a story untold, a duel turned, a destiny altered. Treat it not as mere parchment, dear seeker, but as a shard of the Multiverse itself.
