Hexproof

[Taysby]

Does hexproof beat area effecting spells like {bonfire of the damned}?  I've never been sure.

[Monrodesign]

Nope, as long as the spell doesn't say "target creature".

[InfinitiveDivinity]

Hexproof stops spells and abilities your opponents control that target. So no, Bonfire still get sthrough. Unless of course, you yourself had Hexproof through something like {Witchbane Orb}.

[RayZoh]

Nope. A spell that targets something will specifically say so. {Bonfire of the Damned} doesn't target the creatures, just the player. The creatures are just dealt damage by Bonfire which bypasses the hexproof

[Double-O-Scotch]

Spells that target literally say the word "target" on the card. "Bonfire" only targets the player. Just like {blasphemous act} or {wrath of god}, hexproof or shroud won't save it because it isn't being targeted specifically.

Check out the stickied post here in Rules, "Rules Q&A and FAQ", I actually covered this exact scenario in the FAQ part at the bottom.

Can I enchant a creature that has hexproof and shroud. Such as the card enslave. You control enchanted creature

Shroud, no. You can enchant a hexproof creature if you control it.

Hexproof no also. If your casting a spell to gain control of target creature, I'm guessing you don't have control of it right now, so hexproof prevents you from targeting it.

An older version of {Witchbane Orb} was {True Believer}.Just wanted to share.
