Heroic Intervention (2/16)
This can bail you out of a sticky situation for
just two mana. Board wipe coming? This stops it.
Lots of negative targeting effects? This also
stops it. It protects all of your
permanents, not just the creatures, which gives
this a lot of utility.
There’s not a ton to say about this card; it's
simple and not extremely flashy, but it's the
kind of card that does a lot of work and pulls
its weight splendidly. If you need to protect
your board against a lot of wipes, this will do
it; just about the only thing it can't stop is
mass exile, like Descend Upon the Sinful, or a
massive -X/-X spell, like Yahenni's Expertise,
but no card is perfect.

Heroic Intervention
So it's just a universal version of Ranger's
Guile. You guys know how to play with Ranger's
Guile, right? It doesn't change a battle of
instants so much more than Ranger's Guile, but I
think it's often better for multiplayer and
Commander settings. People routinely play things
like Decimate and Hex, so that there are actual
reasons to want to make more than one thing
untargetable for a similar cost.
