A hand holding up a deck of cards, the first card is Indestructible Aura from Magic the Gathering
There were white creatures that could redirect any damage to that creature.
I remember discovering a paradox where both players were motivated to redirect damage to their own respective creatures (Albatrosses were involved) and could indefinitely.
I think WoTC was first rude about the paradox and later created some hard-to-interpret rules about conflicting recursions.
Got my dad some old mtg cards on ebay for his 50th
You can buy a print from the artist at least https://markpoole.com/products/indestructible-aura?srsltid=AfmBOorCxaUy2DTXp2QYz1DoCASwaFWnd9VUYzRojghmqaxWhJZ5LCEt
It’s official, and classic! The first few years, there were not really any guidelines; the artist was given the name of the card (and its color, I think) to illustrate, and that’s it.
New players: “It doesn’t grant Indestructible, and it’s not an Aura!”
