What it does
Until end of turn, if damage would be dealt to any creature, you may have that damage dealt to you instead.
The willow knows what the storm does not: that the power to endure harm outlives the power to inflict it.

Where it came from
Blood of the Martyr was released in 1995 as part of the Chronicles set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Chronicles was a unique expansion designed to reprint popular or hard-to-find cards from earlier sets like Legends and Antiquities, aiming to make them more accessible to a growing player base. It remains a polarizing set in the game's history, as the mass reprinting of formerly rare cards caused significant controversy among collectors at the time.
The card features artwork by Susan Van Camp, whose distinct, painterly style was a hallmark of Magic's early years. The design depicts a figure in a sacrificial or ritualistic pose, reflecting the card's function of redirecting damage from other sources to the caster. While the card is often remembered more for its inclusion in the controversial Chronicles set than for its competitive gameplay impact, it serves as a representative example of the thematic and artistic direction of mid-90s trading card design.
