On a side note, this is probably the most broken card ever.

Why do people think this is cool with Progenitus?

Protection from everything.

Everything?

He'll have protection from you as well, so you can't order him to attack or block or otherwise interact with him. Ditto your opponent.

Everything!

Protection from instants and sorceries. Protections from random. Protection from himself. Protection from his own abilities. Protection from infinite loops. Protection from the rules. Protection from probability. Protection from past, future and present. Protection from logic. Protection from existence, nonexistence and the following quantum state. Protection from 42. Name it, imagine it, dream it, he has protection from it.

EVERYTHING!

Protection from MaRo.

Skirsdag Flayer, "Sacrifice a Human"...
Well, there's no humans on the battlefield, I guess that leaves me and my opponent as targets.

The_nonaffiliated is right. Progenitus is the most powerful card in Magic if you remove all Errata. It has protection from paying its cost, protection from summoning sickness, protection from losing, protection from reading the rulebook, and protection from the Spanish Inquisition.

Because only Progenitus expects the Spanish Inquisition.

I enjoy this card because you have to know Magic well enough not to completely play the game wrong. Half of the examples on this comments thread are people trying to alter rules of the game, not errata. I even thought this before when I jumped on the Progenitus and this card bandwaggon. Progenitus doesn't actually change, because what "protection from everything" means is defined by the rules, specifically 702.15i. Protection from everything is not defined by errata and is thus not affected by this card. Auras target when the thing they're enchanting when they're on the stack about the enchant them, their target cannot be made anything else; again, part of the rules, not the errata.

However, their are plenty of cards which are probably messed up by this card, such as basic lands when printed without the supertype Basic, legendary creatures are probably no longer affected by the legend rule, Frozen Shade's early versions probably ... (see all)

I wonder what the effect is on old cards that say to tap them, think I could get away with just tapping them with my finger?

Withengar unbound "oops I lost the game; I guess he's twice as strong. Shoot I lost the game again." Or if you're at Fnm or another event where several people are playing, it gets pretty powerful!

This is nuts. Try a Fallen Empires Thallid for infinite tokens on turn 2. (Turn 1 with an Elvish Spirit Guide.) Or you could always go with Thorn Thallid. Not to mention Ashnod's Altar and a bunch of other Fallen Empires cards with that templating. An Exodus version of Sonic Burst is another turn-two win.

And that's not even getting into Ashnod's Coupon.

As far as silver-bordered stuff goes, this just might be the most broken of them all.
