Template:Infobox Keyword Escape is a keyword shared between each of the 5 monocolored civilizations.
However, it is primarily featured in the Light Civilization.
Details
It is a destruction substitution ability that puts a card from your shields into your hand in order to save your creature.
This ability is based on the effect Pure Unicorn (and later, Javeleon, Beast Lance).
It can be combined with cards that add additional shields to continue protecting your creature.
As power decreasing effects generally last until the end of the turn, it would continually destroy the creature as a state based action regardless of how many shields the creature's owner returns to his hand.
It has a variant, True Escape.
