Protection Spell

Reactive instants that shield your own permanents from incoming removal, burn, or combat damage by granting hexproof, indestructible, protection from a color, phasing, or by preventing damage outright. Heroic Intervention and Flawless Maneuver blank a board wipe with indestructible; Teferi's Protection phases your whole side out of existence; Blossoming Defense and Snakeskin Veil cheaply turn aside a targeted kill spell; Fog stops a lethal attack. Narrower than the parent protection category in that it covers only one-shot spells cast in response, and distinct from protection.regeneration, which replaces a destruction event with a tapped, damage-cleared survival via the legacy keyword. Static auras and equipment that grant the same keywords sit elsewhere since they are not cast as a save.
