Is there an enchantment version of this card? I would quite like to cast it on an indestructible creature and cause chaos with it...

# How can I save myself from Arcbond?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2016-02-26)

I run a white and red burn deck with an [Arcbond](https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Arcbond) and want to be able to save myself from taking damage but still have it deal the damage to everyone else.

Are there any white or red cards that could do this?
