Does Supreme Verdict get rid of Blood Baron of Vizkopa
Asked by Tank_berserk 11 years ago
Not sure because of the pro white. Thanks!
Yes, the often quoted memory tool is to think of DEBT. Creatures with protection from color can't be -
Damaged by sources with the given quality (all such damage is prevented)
Enchanted or equipped by permanents with the given quality
Blocked by creatures with the given quality (if it's a creature)
Targeted by spells of the given quality, or abilities with sources of the given quality.
Because Supreme Verdict does not target, nor deal damage, it can get around protection.

Protection from white only protects it from being targeted by white sources or being damaged by white sources (among other things). So the destroy effect will still apply to the blood baron. He dies to Supreme Verdict . If he has protection from red and someone casts a Blasphemous Act he'll live.

Yes it does. Supreme Verdict doesn't target only Blood Baron of Vizkopa, it targets everything. But if you were to target it with like a Path to Exile, that would be an illegal target because Blood Baron of Vizkopa has protection from White.

You can remember all that by remembering "D.E.B.T"
Protection keeps it from taking DAMAGE, being ENCHANTED/EQUIPPED, being BLOCKED, or being TARGETED by/from the protected-against thing.

Not related to the question but in response to an answer, Blasphemous Act would still hit something with pro red, since it doesn't target.

really? Oh, yeah, I guess it states that blasphemous act itself is dealing the damage... I actually started wondering about that the second i posted it and wondered if i only made myself sound stupid :p

Unless you stop damage from being prevented (like hitting someone with a Skullcrack ). Protection is a prevention effect, and current game rules allow you to overcome them.

Yes. Protection on protects from damage, not from destroy effects. On these things are prevented by protection: Damaged by sources with the given quality (all such damage is prevented) Enchanted or equipped by permanents with the given quality Blocked by creatures with the given quality (if it's a creature) Targeted by spells of the given quality, or abilities with sources of the given quality.
