Hexproof is a keyword mechanic in Magic the Gathering that prevents opponents from targeting a permanent or player with spells or abilities. While a player may still target their own permanents that have hexproof, this ability essentially protects something from removal or other negative effects. While a permanent with hexproof can still be destroyed, exiled, or otherwise taken care of, the number of direct answers to cards with hexproof are naturally limited. And while some cards grant hexproof to other permanents or to the player, today we’ll be focusing on cards that have hexproof themselves.

Narset is still an incredibly strong Commander. The primary reason she's losing popularity is because she's unfun to both play with and against, especially if built in an extra turns deck. Because of this, the community has essentially soft banned her in the more casual environment that Commander tries to shepherd.

I have a Narset deck, and while I do have a few extra turn spells in it, it's all the expensive ones like Nexus of Fate, Beacon of Tomorrows and Expropriate. It's mostly Planeswalkers. Just 20-ish Planeswalkers and proliferate effects. I'm glad to let people have their turns... I'm just gonna make sure my Planeswalkers get their abilities at instant speed first, and maybe make it so their abilities get multiplied....

fun fact: hexproof for a while was also given the name "troll shroud" during the time the keyword shroud (which made the thing untargetable by everyone) existed but not hexproof. The reason why it's called troll shroud is due to Troll Ascetic all the way back in classic mirroden. It was also given this name since historically in magic, most trolls had regenerate & were quite difficult to kill.

You can do things in reaction to Nine Lives gaining counters Like... Giving it to someone at instant speed with Zedruu "You attack me? Ok, first of I don't take damage, but I activate Zedruu's ability to give the Lives to you so *you* lose when it gets exiled" Another fun thing is giving it to someome and returning all non-land permanents to hand Guy who got it lose and you have a 2nd ammo for whoever piss you off around the table :)

Targetting protection (or effect immunity) in YGO often includes both players, which may be an interesting design choice and add flavour to cards but is sometimes bothersome as you need to keep track of what you yourself can do with your own monster. Hexproofness is relievingly simple.

Unrelated, but It's funny to me that because Hexproof wasn't a keyword at the time of its printing, vines of vastwood has one of the more unique can't be targeted effects. Vines of vastwood makes it so that its target can't be targeted by your opponents instead of the opponents of the target's controller.

When MTGA was first released, Carnage Tyrant was such a huge problem for my mill deck that I had to run nightveil predator just to ensure I didn't instantly lose. Ironically, since nightveil predator also has flying and hexproof, it itself turned out to be an instant win against other decks.

No mention of Nine Lives donation? When it winds up having a worrying amount of counters, you use a card like Donate to give it to an opponent, hit them to add a few counters, and win. It's not the Strongest "Lose the game" donate combo, but it is an option.

Carnage Tyrant, the cooler Colossal Dreadmaw. Slippery Bogle was the first creature that shows just how fundamentally problematic hexproof can be. When you slap it one a VERY cheap creature, it becomes essentially untouchable. In fact, hexproof was so problematic, ward was made to balance it. And hexproof was made to replace shroud for being such a confusing mechanic. EDIT: Looking at the replies, I realize that shroud isn't clunky, just confusing and unintuitive.

@@Tarotlynx shroud is older than Hexproof. Shroud is protection from targeting, Hexproof is protection from targeting from players other than you, and ward is protection unless the conditions to target is met. Hexproof and shroud make interaction harder and are as a result often on really bad cards or REALLY good cards. Ward is also just a way to trade resources for one another if you have to 2 for 1 yourself to kill my creature that might just straight up be better than Hexproof or shroud. Though with things like bone crusher giant I honestly just think WotC has no idea how it wants to handle this sort of mechanic. Though they’ve mostly made it clear shroud won’t come back often in its entirety.
@Tarotlynx
@Tarotlynx Жыл бұрын
@@NotSoSerious69420 I know shroud is older than hexproof. Hexproof was always riskier than shroud because shroud's only weakness was sacrifice. Hexproof is useful enough - except that there were far too many cards that took it away. Ward's 'conditions' are so easy to meet that the 'protection' is laughable. Magic simply just gave the game to red/black players who think they have the right to destroy everything played (they don't). Wizards cares only about red/black players, occasionally white if white is aggressive that year. Those who wish to protect their creatures and permanents are really not welcome anymore.

I hated playing against Narset. This one guy built a control/extra turns Narset and it was the most annoying thing ever. What I hated was the fact he attacked only me 9 times in a row and didn't kill me while he countered literally everything I played because the other 2 players were just sitting there wasting oxygen. Nothing is more infuriating than not playing a game and not losing it quickly. Honestly when you stop playing Magic and it becomes Solitare you need to play a different game.
