Target creature gains protection from the color of your choice until end of turn. Draw a card.

I might be wrong...but is this not INSANELY good?

This card should be compared with Cho-Manno's Blessing. Is the cantrip more effective than being a permanent?

Maybe not, but it is very good.

Against black and red, it serves both to prevent a loss of a card and to draw a card, so it can be very good there.
Elsewhere, it is still pretty good, as it can get a creature through and replace itself, or can keep a blocker from dying.

It's very good in white creature based decks.
Unfortunately the facts that it is a one shot effect and that it's somewhat situational keep it from being necessary in every white deck.
But it is still good.

I like this card a lot. Its never a dead card that at worst replaces itself. At best, it wastes an opponents' removal spell, fizzles a repulse and other potential cantrips, or screws up attacking phase math.

Cho Manno's blessig is (was in T2) good, but this is also splashable.

The cantrip ability makes it definitely standard worthy, making it much less situational than other cards which have similar effects.
