Do prevent damage instants block doom blade or only combat damage?
Unless they made doom blade do damage now. Or am i thinking of another card...?
IDK, but i know that any instant, unless specificly stated, can prevent damage to you. I think it depends on what instant your using. Link it here so i can take a look.
{Doom Blade} doesnt do damage. It just flat out destroy. Things like {Shock} however do
I do think that if they use a Doomblade, that you could counter it (DUH!), or use the instant on your creature. i.e.- Doomblade to False Prophet; Is Blade gets to Prophet, FP is dead; if an instant that prevents death is used on FP, he lives; yiu can also just counter the spell; have an enchantment that prevents kill spells; or just let FP die, and then bring him back from the GY to BF
To be clear, no, things like {Fog} and {Divine Deflection} do not stop cards like {Doom Blade}, {Go for the Throat} or p/t reducing cards like {Grasp of Night}.
To stop those spells, you need to counter them ({Dissipate}), {Redirect} them, {Flicker} your creature, make them indestructible ({Withstand Death}), give them protection from the color of the spell {Brave the Elements} or make them hexproof ({Ranger's Guile}).
Had to edit the proper indestructible card.
Use {saving grasp}. Cheap and it has flashback.
