Destroy all vs shroud/hexproof
Asked by nismosean 12 years ago
Are permanents that have shroud or hexproof immune to spells that don't target specific permanents?
Or is a spell like day-of-judgement actually targeting all individual creatures, thus the ones with shroud or hexproof are untargetable and still on the battle field?
Similarly, if you play a spell that has a player sacrifice a creature since the spell you cast is targeting the player the hexproof/shroud creature would be a legal target for the owner to select as a result of the sacrifice spell cast on him.
As a general rule, anything that doesn't say 'target' doesn't target. If you have a Thrun, the Last Troll out and are tapped down, if I cast a Day of Judgment , or a Consuming Vapors targeting you, Thrun will hit the bin.

No. In fact, that is their biggest vulnerability.
If I cast Day of Judgment and my opponent has a Sacred Wolf , DoJ does not target any creature and thus the Wolf is destroyed.
Likewise, card:Geth's Verdict targets a player, and thus if the targeted player only has one creature out and that creature is hexproof, the creature still must be sacrificed.
Hope this helps!
