Protection from Banefire Empty
PostSubject: Protection from Banefire   Protection from Banefire EmptySun Dec 20, 2009 1:13 am

This came up in a game I played today.

Brandon cast Banefire targeting a white creature I controlled and paid 5 (or more, I forget) for X. This makes Banefire uncounterable and the damage unpreventable. In response, I cast Brave the Elements chosing red. What happens?

Banefire is countered!

Banefire is immune to things like counterspell / safe passage and any other card that uses the words "counter" or "prevent" in it's rule text

everything else is fair game.

Wait...

The damage would still happen. Even if your target is illegal the damage still happens, because of the TCG golden rule:
A can't always gains priority over a can even if it breaks the rules.

For example one M10 card allows you to have no hand limit, but that goes against the rules...
a golden and general rule in trading card games is that if a card goes above and beyond the rule book then it's played out as the card would happen.

I believe it only counts when the card specifically says "prevent damage" such as is the case with safe passage. Making a creature an illegal target or giving it shroud is not the same thing

Yah sorry Sam looks like I scammed you. Didn't know it worked like that but the way the rule says it makes sense.
