I'm confused by this card - what's the purpose of it?
Flavor wise it seems to be "heavy" armor (hence they lose flying), that also negates the effect of "spells" (at least direct damage ones). I like it...it sort of tells a story with it's little tweaks to stats and powers.

Hehe, I think it's fun. Cool flavor and well made card. This is cool, flavorful rare filler. Reminds me of some of the fun cards from Alara Reborn that won't ever see tourney play but are cool for casual.
Yeah, I mean I get all that. I guess my confusion comes from the fact that it seems pretty underwhelming for a rare. The name too is odd - Magebane seems like shroud; if it's just for direct damage, it should've been flamebane or something like that.
On a sidenote lol just got done argueing this to someoen else, Its magebane as it it offers protection from burn spells, not canceling spells you cast while you wear it.
Its like people who play magic arent nerds at all.....Someone break out the D&D books
Its in the same ballpark as Quitus Spike, and Sigil of Distiction, I mean its cool and useful and helps ease the Lightning Bolt attack, so I can see it being rare....woulda rathered Sword of Fire/ice or light/shadow
Reminds me of Slagwurm Armor, but loses flying? Yeah, I understand the flavor, but I can't believe this is a rare.
Well, I guess that it wouldn't matter if it didn't have flying to begin with. It should have been at least +3/+4 like already stated though. Making it a rare is very disappointing also. I will hate opening one of these in my booster packs.
i like the card. its another card that will see limited play and thats about it. I dont agree with it being rare, even at uncommon if you were to get more then 1 in a limited event its not game changing.

Mostly just to give you a wicked huge defender until you can stabilize, I think.
