White is full of cards whose best use is in a sideboard to be brought in against burn decks. This is the latest in a long and fruitful lineage. Trouble is, this card's use is wholly limited to reaction-- it's only good if your opponent is playing with direct damage. You could use it proactively alongside Pyroclasm, to make your creatures immune to it, but that's about it.

Constructed: Could help against Volcanic Fallout and Pyroclasm. It should at least make it to the sideboard for White token decks. Use it with Dolmen Gate.

Casual: Great card to hose out the Red mage.

Limited: With most of the removal coming from red burn spells this is a great card to pick up. But there is still alot of non-burn spells removal.

Multiplayer: I am working on a Swans deck with Powerstone Minefield this will keep my other little dudes alive.

Overall a good Enchantment for keeping your creatures safe from burn spells.
