"@ParaDox420: Sorry, try again.

This card does override infect. A source of damage with wither does not inflict poison counters on an opponent. This card changes ALL damage that would be dealt so that the damage is dealt as though it's from a source with wither. Thus, a creature with infect won't deal damage to players in the form of poison counters as long as this card is on the battlefield.

@Gomorrah: Sorry, try again.
Protection from something doesn't prevent damage. It reduces the damage to zero. So Runed Halo still keeps you safe from Demigod of Revenge."

Little boys should stick to spears and throwing rocks.

"702.15e Any damage that would be dealt by sources that have the stated quality to a permanent or player with protection is prevented."

The damage is prevented, not 'reduced to zero' that's idiotic. However, Runed Halo still does protect from being dealt damage from whatever you name, since all damage from the named card will prevented.

H... (see all)

@ICEFANG13
In the infinite, lonely depths of your ignorance I hope you find some form of solace. Because I sure don't.

I don't understand the flavor text. I'm sure its a reference to something in a book or whatever, but reading the sentence alone makes no sense. I think it should read, "When night falls,". Am I wrong here?

"When night fell," its not referencing some kind of special event, because it didn't use the term the night. Even then, would sound like a normal night on the surface unless you looked deeper. As is, it sounds like an ordinary nightfall.

"the plane itself was scarred". So I guess every nightfall, the plane gets a permanent scar from everlasting torment? Which leads me to believe the plane has a very long day cycle.

It's a reference to the complete inversion from Lorwyn turning into Shadowmoor. Oona, Queen of the Fae caused the plane to have century-long days and nights of equal length. During the night, the plane is inverted: creatures become the worst possible versions of themselves, with some of them vanishing completely. Everything (except the Faer... (see all)

@ Ziquallx & Zyant

I play Black and Red, and I love this. White life gain is so annoying. I use this or Rain of Gore.
