mtg cards with protection from Global Spells? : r/magicTCG All permanents you control phase out MTG Teferi's Protection (foil etched)

You may cast this spell with X equal to 0 if, for example, you just want an opponent's creature to have base power and toughness 1/1 but not give it counters

an early Teferi, Hero of Dominaria ticking away

The Yotian Solider joke in the flavor text plays into the same joke but from the opposite end

Master of Death Someone realized they couldnt make a zombified Squee, Goblin Nabob, since Squees immortal and all, so they made Master of Death instead

Top-down cards are where we try to translate something into Magic mechanics as flavorfully as possible, without much regard for the rest of the set
