Heroic Intervention

Justification for Heroic Intervention

Why is Heroic Intervention a green card? The name and effects look more whire for me

The card mechanic is perfectly in color pie. I agree the name leans white.

Possibly.

Preventing Destroy and Exile

Hey Mark! Is it possible to see something like Heroic Intervention, but preventing to Destroy AND Exile permanents?

Hexproof prevents targeting which stops the majority of exiling effects. There is no indestructible for exiling if that’s what you’re asking for.

Green's Ability to Protect Board

Heroic intervention doesn't just protect creatures though, it protects your entire board

Green is allowed to protect its board.

Green's Interacting Weakness

I feel like between Allosaurus Shepherd, Heroic Intervention, and Snakeskin Veil... The whole "green is bad at interacting" weakness (and it's supposed creature-based weakness) are nullified. A single card like these that slips though rotation negates any weakness the color has.

Green’s weakness isn’t “ bad at interacting”. Its weakness is an over-reliance on creatures. It’s allowed to protect its creatures though.

Heroic Intervention Query

Can I request a white heroic intervention?

White would grant protection rather than hexproof, but other than that white could do it.

Heroic Intervention Color

In hindsight, should Heroic Intervention have been White? If White is supposed to be the best defensive color, a card that defends all of your permanents should be white. While I understand Green is best at Hexproof, this seems like a stretch.

Just because a color is best at something doesn’t mean it gets every card that does that thing.

Green Hexproof Example

RE: Green granting noncreatures hexproof - Heroic Intervention was a green card printed in AER and it gives all permanents you control hexproof and indestructible.

Good point.
