Banefire still can't target him.
@PhyrexianLobbiest
Lava Burst still can't target him.
@KillSwitch555
Elvish Piper is a common way to get him out without playing all 5 colors.

This is the kind of card that wants you to build a deck around it. This is the kind of card that makes you want to make a 5-colored deck. Epic artwork, too. Sure, Wrath of God takes him out, but something can always be taken out by something else, and this card sure is a pain to get rid of.

Progenitusism- a religion among wizards of the coast members and magic players.

@zero-eight: Yes, I do know if Venser's ultimate can be used on Progenitus. The answer is NO. Just read every else's comments on the rules for protection, and that would have answered your question before you submitted it. DEBT = cannot be Dealt damage, Enchanted, Blocked, or targeted. Venser's lovely ultimate reads "target permanent," and thus cannot target Progenitus, who has protection from everything.
I agree with other people; this card makes me want a 5 color deck. The only two cards to do this are this and Reaper King. Not even because of it's abilities, and those are ridiculous good (though wanting for a trample-adding effect such as Primal Rage or even, dare I say, Rancor), but because it is one of my most favorite pieces of art in the game.

I don't see why this is even worth 3 bucks you can't even dump it into your graveyard to reanimate it
and as for playing it? good luck!

Oh bugger sorry, my bad, it will never go to the gravey. Should read the cards before posting.

Not to minimize the power of this card, but let's not forget, if you're playing a tight tournament ready deck, built for speed, a 5 color deck is extremely difficult to win with unless you're playing vintage tournaments and have access to the moxes and black lotus. And then, even there, you're going to be up against such fast decks, you'll never see the turn where you'll get this card out.
If you're playing a group, fun game, maybe. But for all practical purposes, this card is going to be very difficult to get out before getting soundly thrashed.
My 2 cents on the matter.

I set this card on fire. It didn't have protection from matches. I feel cheated.

@PhyrexianLobbiest Nope. Can't be targeted. This card is just unstoppable outside of wrath effects,
