Pestilence

[TBNL]

Pretty sure about this one, but my friends disagree. If you have {Pestilence} and {Cemetery Gate} on the field, will the gate live through the pestilence? I'm pretty sure it wouldn't, because the pestilence is a global effect.

[Kuberr]

Why wouldn't it?

I mean you could kill it of they payed 5 black. But that would be dumb.

Your friend played that gate or you did?

[Gorzo]

because the pestilence is a global effect.

Correct, pestilence will pierce pro-black because it's a non-targeting global effecting. If activated 5 times, the wall will be destroyed.

Friend played the gate and pestilence, he has a deck based around it.

Pro-black still protects from damage so you could pay 100 black mana for pestilence ability and any pro-black creature will still live. 🔨

Does the same rule apply with spells? Could a {Kor Firewalker} live through a {Slagstorm}?

[scarsabrex]

yes

[cltrn81]

Any and all forms of damage is prevented.  Except a pro-red still dies if {malignus} or another non-preventable form of damage deals damage to a protected creature.

Note that cards like {wrath of god} do not do damage so pro-white still dies.

just so people understand

protection makes it so a creature can't be

Damaged
Equipped or enhanted
Blocked
Targeted

by things it has protection from

That's actually incorrect. Protection from things protects the creature from being targeted. If its global, or an ongoing thing. It is affected.

Protection from black damage still, regardless of how it happens.

But that's DIRECTLY damaged...ect. Isn't it?

[BlackJester]

Nope.  It prevents any and ALL damage from a source of that color.

You should tell wizards to fix mtgo then. Haha

They seem to like to make mistakes.
