Title: Hexproof
Post by: Avodroc13 on December 12, 2013, 05:14:09 AM
If I give an opponent's creature hexproof with  {Ranger's Guile}, while he's trying to enchant that creature, does Ranger's Guile prevent the enchantment because of how hexproof doesn't allow "said creature" to be the target of a spell or ability that an OPPONENT controls?

Whoops, read that wrong. Sorry. But question still stands, if it wasn't Ranger's Guile, could I hexproof an opponent's creature against an opponents own spell?

Unfortunately, there is no card that is able to give hexproof to your opponent's creature in that manner.

You could try to give it shroud, that should work.

In response to the question asked, if you give an opponent's creature hexproof, it doesn't prevent him from casting spells on his own creature. Hexproof looks at the creature's controller to decide if the person casting the spell is an opponent or not, not the controller of the spell.

The text on a hypothetical spell that would do this would likely read "target creature can't be targeted by spells your opponents control".
