Animar vs. Thief of Blood
Asked by Busse 8 years ago
Would Thief of Blood get rid of the counters on Animar, Soul of Elements ?
As per the extensive rulings 702.16 Protection, I understand that it would effectively remove the counters because it's a global effect, but I want a second opinion. AEther Snap is supposed to work against Animar and follows the same logic.

Protection stops these things:
D - damage from sources matching the named trait (whether spells, permanents, etc)
E - equipping/enchanting by sources of the named trait (equipment, auras, etc)
B - blocking by permanents with the named trait
T - targetting by sources with the named trait
Thief of Blood does not, in this scenario, Damage, Equip/Enchant, Block, or Target Animar, Soul of Elements so this works fine.

Yes, that works. Protecting prevents a creature from being targeted by a source that it has protection from. Global effects still apply.
