# Snake Umbra Snake Umbra is a common Aura from Planechase 2012 that exemplifies the Umbra cycle's role in limited play. As a green enchantment, it offers modest utility by granting totem armor, a protective mechanic that prevents the enchanted creature from being destroyed once per game. The card draws collector interest primarily as part of the broader Umbra family, which spans multiple sets and represents a specific design philosophy around creature protection. Collectors typically view Snake Umbra as a functional piece of Magic's history rather than a standout card. Its common rarity and straightforward effect mean it holds value mainly for set completion or players building green-focused casual decks. The Planechase 2012 printing remains the only version, making variant hunting irrelevant for this particular card.
