Anti-Magic Shell was originally a card that could only be generated by The Lich King, Arfus, and Transfer Student. After the introduction of the death knight class, Anti-Magic Shell was made into a collectible card with a similar but differently numbered effect.
Lore
In World of Warcraft, Anti-Magic Shell is a Death knight ability that absorbs magic damage for 5 seconds. The caster is also immune to harmful magic effects for the duration of the shell. It does not, however, remove existing magic effects.
Anti-Magic Shell was originally an ability available to Banshee units in Warcraft III. It has also appeared in World of Warcraft, where it was used by the Shadowfang Moonwalkers in Shadowfang Keep (as Anti-Magic Shield), and in Burning Crusade, where it is used by the Banshees in the Battle for Mount Hyjal raid instance.
Trivia
- The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Scourgewar" series, for the card Shield of Distortion.
