: Untap target attacking creature. Prevent all combat damage that would be dealt to and dealt by that creature this turn.
Why is this card good?
Maze of Ith is one of the best defensive utility lands in Commander. It's a colorless land that costs you nothing on the mana side — it doesn't even produce mana, but it slots into any deck and asks no color commitment.
The core appeal: every turn, you fully neutralize one attacker for free. That's huge against voltron commanders (Uril, Skithiryx), big-mana beaters, or any single-threat aggressor trying to one-shot you. It buys time without spending cards, which is exactly what slower, controlling, or combo decks crave.
Who wants it: stax, control, combo, and any deck that wins late and needs to survive early aggression. It also pairs with untap shenanigans or as a soft "fog" engine.
When to skip it: in heavy go-wide token or aristocrats metas, stopping one creature does little against swarms. It also doesn't help if you're the aggressor — it's purely reactive. In fast, low-interaction pods, that non-mana land slot can hurt your curve.
