Permanency - a true terror for defensive spell decks

arrow

In a defensive spell deck, this card can be a true terror to a deck not carrying enough counters. Of the spells with lasting durations, some stand out well for this theme, including Wall of Fog (371/4th), Forbiddance (11/AR-chase) (it doesn't say it only affects wizard spells), Phase Out (51/PO), Guardian Mist (84/NS), or City Shield (92/DU).

Other interesting uses that can be fun include targeting Quest (31/FR) (only champions below level 5 can attack for the game?!?), Zone of Truth (38/FR), Mind Fog (44/UD), Blight (51/BR), Divine Assistance (99/DU), or Enthrall (419/4th) (this is for the truly evil).

The best way to deal with this defensive kind of play is to play cards that destroy all spells in play (various rule cards or events, like Nullification (35/PO)).
