What's with the sudden surge in "protection from color"? There is a reason protection has all but retired and returns only in color agnostic ways e. g. protection from instants.

You've seen the Horse cycle printed recently? Deliberately don't use protection from color, but only one of the four (but really mostly three) subeffects of protection.

on 20 Jul 2018 by Froggychum:

Hm, fair enough. maybe i could get a sort of subeffect going then

Enemy-colour-hate is.. probably one of the longest-gone bits of Magic. It's valid, but it's also kinda meh. It just usually plays out pretty badly. Is the opponent mono (or at least mainly) black? Then this is devastating. No? Then it's a dead-card in your deck.

It's even more "Did I win the meta-game? Why dother playing then?" than usual.

So magic typically tries to do very little of it nowdays. So for an attempted actual-set, it's a good idea to try and be careful with it.

Or go big. "Green creatures cannot be blocked" is flat out better, and yet somewhat less horrible to play against - because everyone needs to find ways to deal with it, not just black players. (It'd also probably want to cost a lot more; that effect as a sorcery is 4-5)

I'll stop making new protection cards, and If i get time ill start to rewrite the old ones i made.

I'd like that unbiased effect, and would be fine with making it cost whatever

wouldn't this effect need to be instant?

on 20 Jul 2018 by Vitenka:

Why? You'd only ever want to cast it during your turn anyway.

on 20 Jul 2018 by SecretInfiltrator:

It doesn't need to be instant. You play it during your first main phase before combat and your creatures remain unblockable throughout combat during that turn.

That said the effect currently is not green. Straight unblockable is something blue would get and red and black could get variants.

How about bringing back intimidate but not keyworded? "Green creatures cannot be blocked this turn except by green creatures."? A global daunt: "Creatures you control can't be blocked by creatures with power 2 or less this turn."?

I think Predatory Focus would be an option as well. If you limit it to green creatures you even justify the mana shaved off the cost.

on 20 Jul 2018 by Froggychum:

I'm actually quite a fan of the Predatory Focus option, i've been wanting to make a Thorn Elemental-esque card for some time now. Also coincidentally the mention of Intimidate, i just learned of the card bellowing tanglewurm and was tempted to use that, but i do think i'd rather have the former option as a favorite design
