Giving Protection to your opponents creatures
Asked by Faded 13 years ago
I just wanted to double check this...
If I use say, Stave Off on my one of my opponent's creatures and give it protection from blue, any blue enchantments would 'fall off' that creature right?
Less sure about this one...
If I use say, Apostle's Blessing on my opponent's creatures an give the creature protection from artifacts would equipment fall off?
It seems to follow the DEBT formula for protection but I wasn't sure.
Thanks
Yes, this works.
Let's say they have a Champion of the Parish with a Bonds of Faith.
You cast Stave Off on it, calling out white, thus the enchantment falls off due to the state based action of being protected from white.

Tel-Jilad Defiance is the only thing I can find that gives an opponents creature pro-artifact capabilities.

As long as the creature is a legal target (doesn't have hexproof, shroud, or protection from the color of Stave Off in this case) giving it protection from the color of the enchantments on it will cause them to fall off. I'm not sure how this works with protection from artifacts and creatures that are already equipped.

Protection makes equipments fall off just the same as enchantments. Assuming the protection is of something the equipment is (aka artifact, or the color of the equipment if it has one)

Since the artifact (equipment) interacts with the creature when it is equipped, pro-artifact spells with then cause the creature to reject the equipment because it can no longer interact with the creature.

Rules quote time:702.15d A permanent with protection cant be equipped by Equipment that have the stated quality or fortified by Fortifications that have the stated quality. Such Equipment or Fortifications become unattached from that permanent as a state-based action, but remain on the battlefield. (See rule 704, State-Based Actions.)

You were first but GoblinsInc answered both questions and then quoted the rules.
Thanks everyone

N/M apostle's blessing, just reread it to see creatures you control. Is there another spell that would work instead of apostle's blessing? Does this even work?
