Can i take permanently control of my opponent creature with Act of Treason if i protect it against red with Gods Willing?

Asked by calvo099 1 year ago

Suppouse i use Act of Treason and i take control of my enemy's creature, then i end up my turn and when Act of Treason's forces me to give back the creature, cast Gods Willing and give protection against red to that creature, do the protection against red disables the "give back" ability from act of treason? if thats the case, would i keep that creature?

No. Act of Treason creates a control changing effect with a limited duration. It never "gives back" the creature, the effect simply expires. In addition, protection granted by Gods Willing prevents Damage, Equipping/Enchanting, Blocking, and Targeting. It can stop Act of Treason from resolving by making the targeting illegal, but once the spell resolves it no longer targets and the control changing effect can't be interacted with other than creating a new effect that overwrites it (such as by another player casting Ray of Command or activating Homeward Path).
