Creatures can't attack you unless their controller pays 2 generic mana for each creature they control that's attacking you.
Though the spirits' bodies were ethereal, Agnur soon learned that their blades were quite solid—and razor-sharp.

Where it came from
Ghostly Prison first appeared in the Champions of Kamigawa expansion in 2004, designed as a white enchantment that forces opponents to pay a mana tax to attack with their creatures. The card quickly became a foundational element of control strategies, particularly in the Commander format, where it serves as a persistent defensive layer against aggressive board states. Its function reflects the design philosophy of taxing effects common to white, which emphasize regulation and restriction as a primary method of protection.
The version from the Kaldheim Commander set, featuring collector number 26, was released in 2021 as part of a series of supplementary decks designed to celebrate the Norse-inspired setting of Kaldheim. This printing utilizes updated formatting and frame treatments standard for modern Magic: The Gathering releases. While the original illustration by Greg Staples established the iconic visual of a shimmering, ethereal barrier, the card has seen various art updates over the years that continue to reinforce its identity as a quintessential deterrent in multiplayer games.
