Protection Spell

Reactive, instant-speed spells cast to save your own permanents from removal or combat, granting hexproof, indestructible, protection from a color, or phasing out. Heroic Intervention blankets your board with hexproof and indestructible, Teferi's Protection gives protection from everything plus phase out, Blossoming Defense pairs hexproof with a pump, and Gods Willing grants protection from a chosen color. Narrower than the broad effect grouping here: this covers one-shot spells you hold up, not always-on gear. Distinct from Fog, which prevents all combat damage for a turn rather than protecting specific permanents, and from Regeneration, which uses the legacy regenerate keyword to replace destruction with a tap-and-clear-damage save.
