Teysa and soul bond?
Asked by griffstick 7 years ago
The anwser to this seems to be obvious cause it's a creature but I'm still unsure. Can you soul bond Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts? With say for instance Deadeye Navigator?

I assume you are asking if Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts' protection from creatures will prevent her from being paired for soulbond. Protection only prevents four things easily remembered by the mnemonic DEBT. Protection prevents something from being Damaged, Enchanted/equipped, Blocked, or Targeted by a source it has protection from. Soulbond does not damage, enchant, equip, or block. Since spells and abilities do not target unless they specifically use the word "target, it also doesn't target. So even though the source of the ability is a creature, Teysa's protection does not prevent it.

Good catch, I didn't even read the card because I thought it was the other Teysa.

Yes.
Soulbond only cares if the permanent you're pairing it with is a creature. So long as they're both creatures when one or the other enters the battlefield, they can be paired and will remain paired until one of them leaves the battlefield.
