You have a board full of non-dragon creatures, but your opponent has hit five mana and taps out to cast Crux of Fate<\/a>, choosing to destroy all non-dragon creatures. You’re holding a Center Soul<\/a> and a Ranger’s Guile<\/a>. Can either of these cards save one of your creatures?<\/p>\n If you’re familiar with cards like Wrath of God<\/a> and Day of Judgment<\/a>, you probably already know the answer: no, they won’t help you. Protection from Black helps against four things: prevent all damage<\/strong> from black sources; can’t have black enchantments or equipment<\/strong> attached to it; can’t be blocked<\/strong> by black creatures; and can’t be targeted<\/strong> by black spells or abilities of black sources (commonly collected under the acronym of DEBT<\/strong>.) The Crux does none of those things, so having protection from black will not help: the creature will still be destroyed.<\/p>\n Likewise, hexproof will not help save your creature either: the Crux doesn’t target anything, so having hexproof will not save the creature and it will be destroyed.<\/p>\n Well, that’s all I have for today.
