What was that Progenitus? Protection from everything? Not any more!

@nammertime, Protection also means that it can't be TARGETED by any spells it has protection from, so unless u somehow manage to play 4 pyroclasms on one turn, you can forget about killing anything big...

@nammertime cept it can't kill progenitus b/c he has protection from everything, which means he can't be targeted, so unless you have a damage spell that does 10+ dmg to all creatures, he's still invincible. also this targets players specifically so even if you could bypass his protection, you'd still have to use it on his controller not him.

I want more of this. Spire Barrage is unreliable and just chills out in my hand most of the time. And this is either "Counter all Fog for the rest of the turn" or "Insta-Lava Axe and counter all Fog for the rest of the turn", and that is plain utility.

@HairlessThoctar

There is actually one thing I can think of offhand: If you're running Purity in some weird Boros-esque deck, and you desperately need to gain five life, you won't be able to. But who cares about that?

I can tell I'm going to love this card. I don't actually have any copies of it but I plan to soon. It makes Rakdos the Defiler much more playable IMO

Actually blurrymadness, Progenitus can't ever "die" because it has that replacement effect that shuffles it back into the library instead of the graveyard. So it's more like.. 99% correct.

I feel like a troll.

A Lava Axe at instant speed for 3RedRed, and the option to play a lesser effect for Red in a pinch? Solid.

@DarthParallax: I feel it necessary to point out that even if that were true Lava Axe still wouldn't be strictly better. What you're describing is essentially split second (with some unnecessary violence added on). Which is a completely different effect from damage can't be prevented. Not to mention the option of not paying the kicker on this.

A great answer to Fog-like fans, when you want to be sure that it will be the final turn.

My green deck splash red only for this card and for Kessig Wolf Run. :D

@NoobOfLore: Well, you can't, for instance, search for this card with Burning Wish.
