Such the better art. A friend has a foil one, and lets just say I am glad he has protection from drool.

He has protection from ratings, so I can't rate him. I'd compliment him, but he has protection from compliments, so it'd be lost on him. I think he also has protection from damage, so you can't rip one or tear one, but Oracle rules that you can still lose or trade one.
@DarthParallax: What part of "Can't enter the graveyard" don't you understand? YOU. CAN'T. ENTOMB. PROGENITUS. GET OVER IT.

Progenitus also gives you Protection from Painter's Servant + Grindstone (if she's in your library).
If you want her to fly, play Islands and bin a Wonder. It's kind of appropriate when you consider the flavor text:
"The awestruck birds gazed at Wonder. Slowly, timidly, they rose into the air."
—Scroll of Beginnings
Sounds like the sort of thing that ought to happen, when the Soul of the World has returned.

I'm going to take what seems to be the unpopular position here- while the card is undeniably powerful, power doesn't always equal all-around good. It's not even so much a mechanics issue- our friend Elvish Piper and his kin can take care of that pesky mana cost. No, it's the wording of "Protection from Everything". I thought Wizards was all on board the 'let's lure in new players' schtick. But Protection from Everything seems to be raising more confusion among players (more so the newer crowd, in personal experience) than anything, especially with the Wrath issue. Obviously it's just for the "Wow- really, EVERYTHING?" bright-eyed Timmy moment when you first see the card. And again, the bigger and shinier it looks, the more money it will make (Mythic Rares!). But the precedent for Protection from All Colors was there, and Protection from Colourless isn't too hard to figure out. Now it looks to function just like Protection from, say, White does. And it takes up only... (see all)

@Lukeman
Proof that Progenitus can be taken over:
1: Get out something that let's you take control of creatures, such as, in my example, my Shiny New Nicol Bolas.
2: Play Ixidron. Progenitus is now a little 2/2 creature with no abilities.
3: Take your Shiny New Progenitus.
4: Play Ixidor, Reality Sculptor.
5: Use Ixidor to turn Progenitus back into himself.
6: ???
7: Profit!

Flying is an evasive ability that creatures have, so it's not something that falls under the realm of what Protection from ________ does (for a full explanation, see Gunhaver's post).
The only way your Progenitus could have blocked your brother's flying creature is if you had an enchantment like Levitation or Spidersilk Armor on the battlefield that would give Progenitus those static abilities while working around the restrictions of Protection.

Sick card if you can sneak it into play (Elvish Piper, Belbe's Portal, Dramatic Entrance, and Deathrender all come to mind). Plus, it can't hit the graveyard. Plenty of global effects can beef it up or slow it down. The only two cards that I know of that can REALLY get rid of this guy are Final Judgment and the riskier Decree of Annihilation. Overall, a really great card if you can get it into play.

Excrutiator + Giant Growth + Lure = Bye bye, Progenitus.
