Shouldn’t it be “affect”? Clearly not the card for anyone that cares about the finer points of English.

[-] unmarketableplushie@pawb.social 36 points 10 months ago

I mean, given it's a Magic the Gathering card, it should be something more like

You have protection from everything with more than five lines of rules text. (This includes reminder text.)

Though this needs a mana cost too

Well akshually pushes up glasses it's not exactly the same but if they made this card they'd probably make it read "You have protection from wordy (Something is wordy if it has four or more lines of rules text.)". Gotta use the key worded ability.

This is five or more lines of text though. The keyword doesn't apply.

Duke Nukem doesn't need mana. He's not magic. He's just a guy on steroids and testosterone. You're not actually summoning him, he just showed up.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 months ago

the card has a cash summoning cost, where you bung him a fiver to show up

Also it should be a grey border lol

I'm not an mtg person, would protection mean only enemy spells? The original is your own too. Would be cool to have a board wipe that couldn't affect you

No, protection applies to everything with the quality.

Protection from [quality] (This can't be blocked, targeted, dealt damage, enchanted, or equipped by anything [quality].)

Protection doesn't mean indestructible though. A spell like Wrath of God would still destroy a permanent with protection from it, because it doesn't target or damage the creature.

No no no, it just means you can't bring out this card as a result of a spell with more than 5 lines of text.
