Today we’re going over an old favorite: Protection! It’s a fairly common mechanic in Standard lately, between all the Swords kicking around and the Crusaders and what-have-you. So what does protection ‘stop’?<\/p>\n
A lot of people wonder why it is that Day of Judgment<\/a> can kill a Phyrexian Crusader<\/a>, but Whipflare<\/a> can’t. Some people think protection from white will mean that their Sword of War and Peace<\/a>-holding creature doesn’t get a boost from their Honor of the Pure<\/a>. Put simply, Protection stops only four things, and they can be remembered with a useful mnemonic: D.E.B.T.<\/strong><\/p>\n Protection from Red, for example, means that your creature cannot be…<\/p>\n …by anything red. That’s all! Whipflare can’t hurt your Crusader because Pro-red prevents the damage. Hero of Oxid Ridge<\/a> can’t block your dude that’s got a Sword of War and Peace because your dude can’t be blocked by red or white creatures. It can’t have any red or white Auras\/Equipment put onto it, and any red or white auras\/equipment that were already attached to it when it gained protection ‘fall off’. Finally, nothing red or white, nor abilities from a red or white source may target it.<\/p>\n The reason that a Black Sun’s Zenith<\/a> kills a Mirran Crusader<\/a> or a Day of Judgment kills a Phyrexian Crusader is because DEBT doesn’t apply; the spells aren’t trying to Damage, Enchant\/Equip, Block, or Target the creature.<\/p>\n Today’s Rules Tip written by Today we’re going over an old favorite: Protection!
