Leyline of Sanctity<\/a> gives you hexproof, which prevents you from being targeted by spells and abilities that are controlled by an opponent. There are two ways that planeswalkers can receive damage; combat damage after they have specifically been attacked and by having damage from spells that would damage their controller redirected to a planeswalker they control. Leyline of Sanctity will not prevent a planeswalker from receiving combat damage, but it will prevent some spells from targeting the controller of a planeswalker.<\/p>\n

For example, a player with Leyline of Sanctity cannot be targeted by a Fireball, so this Fireball<\/a> will not be able to affect a planeswlkaer this person controls. However, spells that damage without targeting a player will get around the Leyline, and this damage can be redirected to a planeswalker. Chandra’s Outrage<\/a> targets a creature and not a player. When one resolves, the controller of the Outrage can choose to redirect the two points of damage that would be dealt to the player to a planeswalker they control instead. A Leyline of Sanctity will not prevent this.<\/p>\n
