Oblivion Ring, Fiend Hunter, Hexproof, Emrakul, the Aeons Torn

[Silent1236]

Is {Oblivion Ring} able to target creatures with hexproof ({Geist of Saint Traft}) or protection from white/colors/everything ({Emrakul, the Aeons Torn})?  I thought I read somewhere that because of o rings wording, it was.  Am I just imagining things or is that true?

Also wondering about {Fiend Hunter}'s ability if so.

It is not able to target hexproof permanents, because it says "target", and hexproof = can't be the TARGET of spells and abilities an opponent controls.

Emrakul, however, can be targeted by an o ring. This is because he says "can't be the target of colored spells". Oblivion Ring only targets when it enters the battlefield, not when it is cast. So it is not a spell when it targets him.

The same goes for fiend hunter

Alright thanks!  I knew I had read something about protection or hexproof, but I couldn't remember which one it was 

Should be noted (just in case) that things with protection from white are safe from oblivion ring. Oblivion ring may not be a spell anymore when it targets, getting around Emrakul's weird protection, but the ring is still white, so something protected from white is still unable to be targeted.

And {Progenitus} and his protection from everything is safe too - only stuff that doesn't target at all and doesn't do damage can get to him.  (Essentially.)
