The sex tiger comes in the blink of an eye, but never fear dear player; he always uses protection.

How many people first read "Seth's tiger" when they looked at the card name?

BayushiKazemi's kind of right, it doesn't counter itself, the game counters it, but that's just semantics. Anyway, that's why Banefire says "cannot be countered by spells or abilities." It's so the game can still counter it. For contrast, Supreme Verdict does not have that clause because there are no times when it would need to be countered by the game.

A personal favourite. It might not be extremely good competitively, but in a casual match it's always worth the look on your opponent's face when they finish reading the text.

Banefire is an interesting case, because if it could resolve against a player with protection from red, the damage would get through the pro red, since protection prevents damage. That point is moot since Banefire only has one target and the target must be legal on declaration and resolution, and it won't be legal on resolution so it will be countered.
A fireball with two targets will not be countered unless both targets become illegal though.

This is pretty amusing. It's like a color-focused fog.

@ Dingo777
Actually, since the card gives you protection from red you are no longer a legal target. If a spell has no legal targets it fizzles (counters itself, even if it is uncounterable). If you gave yourself Protection from Red before they played the Banefire, they would not be allowed to target you with it (ditto for Progenitus). Thus, it is not a question of preventing the damage but rather a question of whether the targets are legal.
I reference rule 607.2b of the Comprehensive rulebook.

Beautiful art. I feel like running a bunch of these just so I can see the pretty kitty.

'Futureshifted' seems to be the dumping ground for ideas that everyone has had but that they've never gotten around to doing.
