Witchbane Orb question

So if I use Witchbane Orb it gives me, the player, hexproof, correct? Meaning spells and whatnot can't be used on me, the player, but CAN be used on my creatures, correct? SO enchantments would be considered safe against spells? What about Aura Enchantments, on my creatures?

Also, the Q&A is the best place to ask this kind of question.

If you have hexproof, then no spells can be played that would target you specifically. All of your permanents, however, can be selected as targets unless they themselves have hexproof, shroud, or protection from the color in question.

I suppose a fringe case in this situation would be targeted direct damage effects that would be redirected to hit planeswalkers you control. Because effects like that don't target the planeswalkers themselves, they have to target the controllers of those planeswalkers and then have their damage redirected to the planeswalkers instead. Since you have hexproof, your opponents can't cast something like Lightning Bolt to hit your walkers because they can't target you with the Bolt they'd be redirecting.

cool ok thats kind of what I thought. And yeah Q & A probably is better place to ask lol, I wasnt sure.

You as a player are an entity in the game. You are the object being granted hexproof. Witchbane Orb doesn't confer hexproof to anything else you own or control. All of your cards are still targetable.
