This card is easily played in Standard right now. Simply throw down an Elvish Piper, wait one turn, use its one mana ability to put Progenitus into play and problem solved.

to prettyboy3711, yes, this rule is true, you can only have one of each legendary creature in play at a time, this is nothing new to magic, it's been around forever. so, sorry, only one progenitus in play at a time

Hey Ludovici:

Read the Conflux FAQ at the bottom.
Even if you were right about it having protection from spells, creatures, and everything: two words-
Lava Burst
"Effects that prevent or redirect damage cannnot be used to protect that creature."

Does it protect itself from itself..IE if it were to be cloned and legend out, would it have protection from that?

I completely overran my friend with a White Weenie deck...2 turns after he played Progenitus. 10/10 doesn't matter as much if I've already played 3 Beacon of Immortality.
Honestly, it's easy to survive Progenitus (just use basic life gain), and hella hard to make an effective deck that doesn't completely fail if he doesn't come out for you. Not nearly as great a card as some people think.

great card, but, like all good magic cards, it can be beaten. you just have to find a way
for example, while it's in your hand, i can distress it, to get rid of it for a while
or, i hit you with Scalpelexis and he gets exiled from your library.
or, i just run over him with my primalcruxes and khalni hydra, since trample is based on assigned damage, not dealt damage.
very, very hard to hard cast if you aren't running any color mana ramp, like bird of paradise to fill in the blanks or cultivate to grab the lands you need.
of course, you can cheat it out by turn 4, with things like elvish piper
this guy is damn good, but he still has his weaknesses. if you can drop him early, it's game over, but there are ways to deal with him
5/5

Why destroy/bury it with Wrath of God when you can remove it from the game.
False Prophet or Martyr's Cry et cetera.

Ah! Progenitus. I have one in a neat deck in which I don't actually need to pay for it. Very powerful, and intimidating. And yes, Wrath of God gets rid of it, but only temporarily. The only way to truly be rid of Progenitus is with exile cards like Final Judgment.
Oh, and cry me a river, J a n u s Aurelius.
