So, people going to the prerelease, what colour pack you think you'll choose, and why? 18 is *SOMETIMES* okay i you literally have only gray ogres for early plays, *maybe* And this is assuming you draft some cool non-basics like Rath's Edge or something... | ||

because Cancel is basically the best thing you can have in manaflood battles. Errr... not really. I'd prefer to have a wind drake over cancel (or any other equivalent 2 power evasive for 3). Cancel stops their bomb if they draw it but can't win the game by itself and is wasted if they drop chaff. If you can't deal with random durdly 5 drop topdecks in m14 blue without counters, y'ain't doing it right XD. At least a drake puts them on a clock immediately and forces them to draw up something relevant, which in m14 is not actually super easy. | ||

Wind Drake is a horrible topdeck lategame, what are you even talking about? | ||

Can't wait to play 18 lands all day in Theros and have a bunch of mana sinks in every deck! (and then die to a pile of heroic triggers...) | ||

No. Protection follows the acronym DEBT. A card with Protection from X can't be Damaged Enchanted Blocked Targeted by X Since their enchantment isn't directly doing any of those things to your creature the protection has no effect. | ||

If it is a creature and an enchantment at the same time (e.g. Lucent Liminid) then yes it will be protected because the enemy creature has both subtypes of creature and enchantment. If you mean the enemy creature happens to have an enchantment like Angelic Destiny attached to it, then no. You are fighting a creature which just happens to have an enchantment attached to it so your Protection from Enchantments does nothing here. | ||
