Title: post block ignore vs protect
Post by: theselfevident on May 25, 2013, 07:00:08 PM

If a character is protected from opponent's cards, can it be ignored/repelled? or is it like immunity?

I'm pretty sure you can ignore/be immune to the character. if Immune, then it is a bounce.

I agree with Wyatt. Those abilitys don't directly effect the protected character so they should work.

Actually, if you are protected from the hero and then ignore is played, you are protected from the battlewinning component of ignore.  That is, no, they don't just walk by to win.

but, It does make it a bounce, right? Therefore, it would be more like an immune ability and become a stalemate?

so it is like immunity, it seems to me that protect = immunity honestly... just a different name

Yes, ignore confers immunity as one component and a battlewinning condition with another component.  Protection protects from the battlewinning component, but immunity targets the ignoring character, so the protection does not stop that.

In short, if you are protected and the opponent plays an ignore, then it becomes stalemate by immunity.
