Cephalid Snitch vs protection

Asked by chosenone124 6 years ago

My opponent is enchanted with Overwhelming Splendor and controls:

Progenitus

True-Name Nemesis

Iridescent Angel

I have 3 copies of Cephalid Snitch. I use their abilities on my opponent's 3 creatures, and they remove my Splendor after my Snitches resolve their abilities.

Which of my opponent's creatures can be targeted by black spells?

Definitely Iridescent Angel, and definitely not Progenitus. True-Name Nemesis can be targeted by black spells not controlled by the chosen player. If True-Name Nemesis entered before it's controller was enchanted it will have a chosen player, probably you, and you won't be able to target it, but if it entered while they were enchanted, it didn't have the ability to choose a player and won't actually be protected from anything.

Even if, in theory, Progenitus were to lose protection from black, it wouldn't do anything practically speaking. He'd still have protection from instants/sorceries/creatures/artifacts/enchantments/planeswalkers etc. Nothing black would be able to circumvent protection anyhow because it would possess some other characteristic that Prog still has protection from.
