Temper

Instant

Prevent the next X damage that would be dealt to target creature this turn. For each 1 damage prevented this way, put a +1/+1 counter on that creature.

Printings & Editions

Premodern-legal editions of Temper — old-border printings plus any period-appropriate foil promos (Arena/Judge, through Scourge). Hover to preview an edition on the card; click to select it.

Old-border editions + pre-Scourge promo foils (Arena/Judge). Modern-frame reprints (8th Edition onward) exist but are not period-appropriate printings.

Critical Rulings

"You can make X be larger than the amount of damage, but you only get one counter for each actual point of damage prevented."

— 2004-10-04

"The +1/+1 counters do show up at the same time as any unprevented damage, which means they are there before you check for lethal damage."
