Saw Twig picked this up on Anubis Mid in SPL (he won the match), could this be the new Dynasty Plate? (though a bit more situational).
Edit: I've also seen Warrior's blessing in Mid used similarly, but usually with the Magi Shoes Rush start so your clear doesen't suffer early much without mage's blessing.
The problem with that item on mages lies with the ability to trigger it themselves with hard CC. Anubis is obviously able to do that well with his wrap but most mages don’t have that option outside of their ultimates so I’d generally say it’s not worth it.
I’ve always thought on mages that DO have that hard CC ( Anubis, Discordia, Agni, etc.) in their base kits, it’s a solid pickup. Gives a nice protection reduction in a defense item.
Also, not a shame Gem sucks...additional easily-applied CC in a game where CC is everywhere is a huge pain, and greatly benefits specific gods, so is harder to balance.
