Title: Protection clarification
Post by: Destore117 on October 03, 2014, 03:31:14 PM
Does protection remove enchantments already on the creature? I want to say no but I can't remember
Thanks everyone!

No, it says can not be targeted , so the auras there are able to be there still

this is not correct.
The current reminder text for protection reads "This [object] can't be blocked, targeted, dealt damage, or enchanted by anything [quality]."

The effects of protection are often described using the mnemonic DEBT. The permanent or player with protection can't be:

Damaged by sources with the given quality (all such damage is prevented)
Enchanted or equipped by permanents with the given quality
Blocked by creatures with the given quality (if it's a creature)
Targeted by spells of the given quality, or abilities with sources of the given quality.

enchanted is part of debt and protection will make auras that have the specific trait fall off. thats why {spectra ward} needed specific text and doesnt use debt.
