White creatures get +0/+1.
Blue creatures get +0/+1.


REVISED TEXT:

Age of Reason
{W/U}
Enchantment
Whenever a red source would deal damage, prevent one of that damage.
White creatures get +0/+1.
Blue creatures get +0/+1.



***

White and blue are opposed to red.  This enchantment helps white and blue and hurts red.

Too good to cost merely 1.  World Enchantments are probably not the way Wizards wants to go with things anyway.  I'd rather give this
"Sacrifice an enchantment: Destroy this.  Any player may play this ability."

Sphere of Law is 3W for prevent 2 dmg from each red source -ONLY to YOU-.

Shere of Purity is 3W for prevent 1 dmg from each artifact source again only to you (but was printed in a very artifact heavy set).

This is at least half as good as Sphere of Law, but at 1/4 the price (and in two colors).  AND protects much more than just You.  How about:

{W/U}
Enchantment
If a red source would deal more than 1 damage, prevent 1 of that damage.

I really want to keep the "help blue & white" aspect of the card.  I'll make it cost more.

Compare with Grand Arbiter Augustin the IV which has a similar let of abilities and costs 2UW.

"Prevent 1" and "minus 1" are very different.  Do you want this work against Urza's Rage or not?

Ah.  OK.  Maybe we should remove the existing World Enchantments from the Master List, then...
