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.

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!”

It is. Legends was a wacky set.
